It would be great to support UDP in browsers:

I've already commented at length about this, but I'll repeat: UDP without congestion control in browsers is not really an option. UDP with congestion control is basically what QUIC is. So we might as just get p2p QUIC connections working instead (which we are doing in the ORTC community group).

Out of curiosity, why is "raw" UDP (I guess that's what you mean by UDP without congestion control) not an option ? Security ?
