Sure but isn't that a core promise of and what's really meant by 
end-to-end? Without that constraint SDES would also qualify.
Quoting wikipedia:
"The intention of end-to-end encryption is to prevent intermediaries, 
such as Internet providers or application service providers, from being 
able to discover or tamper with the content of communications. "
There's currently no such protection in WebRTC's current DTLS-SRTP 
implementation.
