Section 6.4: Datachannel Garbage Collection

You seem to be saying that I can't garbage collect the data channel as long as the SCTP connection is up even if the PC is closed? that seems surprising.

@ekr pc.close() is missing a step. It should close the data channels, but it doesn't seem to:

Calling pc.close() seems like it should invoke the data channel close procedure (as though RTCDataChannel.close() were called):

When the close method is called, the user agent must run the following steps:

Let channel be the RTCDataChannel object which is about to be closed.

If channel's readyState is closing or closed, then abort these steps.

Set channel's readyState attribute to closing.

If the closing procedure has not started yet, start it.
