The "close" method also slightly differs and could be synced.

DataChannel is a new API and should therefore use the latest conventions, but at the same time we're modeling it after an existing API and want to make it easy to switch between the two for different transport needs. 97244 4 harald 2013-12-06 14:06:34 +0000 Closing this as WONTFIX - the group has gone over this ground, and I think the decision to be internally consistent in the spec on using string enums was pretty solid at the time.
