[BA] I agree with Colin.  The document is consistent with the Danvers Doctrine and more recently expressed sentiments. 

From Section 6: 

   Given the variability of the classes of application that use
   RTP, and the variety of the currently available security mechanisms
   described in [I-D.ietf-avtcore-rtp-security-options], no one set of
   MTI security options can realistically be specified that apply to all
   classes of RTP applications.

   Documents that define an interoperable class of applications using
   RTP are subject to [RFC3365], and so need to specify MTI security
   mechanisms.  This is because such specifications do fully specify
   interoperable applications that use RTP.  Examples of such documents
   under development in the IETF at the time of this writing are the
   RTCWEB Security Architecture [I-D.ietf-rtcweb-security-arch] and the
   Real Time Streaming Protocol 2.0 (RTSP) [I-D.ietf-mmusic-rfc2326bis].
   It is also expected that a similar document will be produced for
   voice-over-IP applications using SIP and RTP.
