Recently I have worked using WebRTC and I'm wondering if it would make more sense to implement a Real Time Communication open standard at a native level. 

Let's say that instead of a web browser API we have a native API that any native app, including the browser can leverage.

Part of the promise of WebRTC is to have RTC on the browser without plugins but why stop there, why not have RTC on any device with media capabilities without plugins. There are many devices with media capabilities that will not run a web browser, e.g., wearables. It seems to me that the browser itself has become the plugin and I think we need to get rid of it as far as RTC is concerned.

It sounds like [OpenWebRTC](http://www.openwebrtc.io/) is going in a similar direction but so far they are only working inside the browser.

* Are there open standards for native RTC? So far it looks like [RTCWeb](https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/rtcweb) is only concerned about the browser.
* Are there any projects/initiatives for native implementations of an open standard for RTC?
