New description:

 Mozilla added support for WebRTC over TCP, and WebRTC proxy support in
 Firefox 34 and 38:
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=891551
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=949703

 This might mean we can actually enable WebRTC now, if we turn off all of
 the IP address discovery and non-TCP ICE mechanisms:
 https://github.com/diafygi/webrtc-ips

 We could also potentially list a hidden service address as a WebRTC ICE
 endpoint, though we would need to be careful about this since it means
 that potentially every Tor Browser user who visits a WebRTC-enabled page
 would suddenly spin up a hidden service. I wonder if we can have Tor
 create the keys for a hidden service without actually starting it up
 unless it is actually negotiated by WebRTC.

 This suggestion actually came from wiretapped. WebRTC is no longer just
 for making calls. Tons of crazy decentralized apps are being built on top
 of it. Ex: https://instant.io/
