I suggest we just use STUN and TURN and get on with this. It's true that a special case client can have a special relationship with a server, and allocate candidates any way it wants, and establish a standard jingle p2p connection as long as those candidates work as regular remote candidate for the peer during ICE connectivity establishment. However, it would be nice for any Jingle compatible client to know how to allocate address candidates from the service it is connected to. To do this there needs to be standard protocols for discovering and using these services. It's not complicated. Describing N ways to allocate candidates isn't useful for anyone. There is nothing very special about STUN and TURN technically, except that they are established and work. Let's use them and move on.
