Thanks, but now I am lost. Why is this a 'video' stream and not a 'text' stream, then?

Presumably because the intent is to display this as video. The rules for what can fit under video are pretty loose; this is certainly an acceptable use of the video top-level type. Text, OTOH, is usually thought of as a series of lines and not as a stream of characters. My (incorrect) understanding was that video was an unacceptable choice due to SDP constraints. Without that constraint I would have been pushing for this to go under video from the beginning. Ned
