But this would require the remote peer to utilize the same protocol encapsulation (UDP->SCTP->UDP), wouldn't it? This means due to browser limitations you can never directly speek an existing UDP/TCP protocol besides HTTP/WS.

Yes that's true. I think it is not too much of a limitation though. The major use of UDP is games and if you're writing a game you control the whole protocol anyway.
