Description Kiran 2014-05-05 04:54:22 UTC 
createOffer / createAnswer methods accept options attribute as an optional argument.

Validation steps for this argument is missing, which should be added for better Error Handling.
Comment 1 Harald Alvestrand 2014-10-31 14:13:13 UTC 
Given that CreateOffer / CreateAnswer are being turned into promise-returning functions by default, and promise-returning functions do not throw on argument errors (they reject instead), the argument validation should result in a rejection / error callback return.
Comment 2 Dan Burnett 2014-10-31 16:51:23 UTC 
Only standard WebIDL type checking should be applied.
