I wrote a draft for that,

http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bormann-rohc-avt-crtp-profile-00

As far as I know, this is technically complete and could be submitted  
to WGLC.

There are no new problems being solved, so much is true.
But they are solved in a different way, and possibly with different  
IPR considerations, based on existing IETF standards documents.
I can't speak to the IPR considerations (and I would not want to  
discuss them on the WG list), but I've heard that some people are  
interested in them in the hallway.
