I believe that people are confusing two similar questions:

1. Is there a single mandatory-to-implement security system for *all*
   RTP uses?

2. Are all RTP uses required to specify mandatory-to-implement
   security (although different RTP use situations may mandate
   different security systems)?

As far as I can see, draft-ietf-avt-srtp-not-mandatory-14.txt says
that the answer to question 1 is "No".  As far as I can see, Cullen is
arguing that the answer to question 2 is "Yes".  These are not
contradictory positions.

There is, of course, an implementation cost if we do not mandate the
same security solution for all RTP uses.
