Description Kiran 2014-05-20 21:21:44 UTC 
This check is missing.

Proposed Resolution
•Fire a ResourceInUseError.
Comment 1 Adam Bergkvist 2014-05-21 13:42:07 UTC 
The app is allowed to do this.
Comment 2 Kiran 2014-05-21 20:25:14 UTC 
This bug has been re-opened for tracking 

While discussing interoperability issues in interim meeting, it has been pointed that spec should be updated to clarify that label is not unique.

First: Data channel label uniqeuness
19:19:32 [stefanh]
prop: update the spec to say do not have to be unique

I suggest to add a note specifying "Multiple channels may contain same label".

or 

add a line after explanation

The RTCDataChannel.label attribute represents a label that can be used to distinguish this RTCDataChannel object from other RTCDataChannel objects. The attribute MUST return the value to which it was set when the RTCDataChannel object was created.
 "JS applications are allowed to create multiple channels with same label"
