Well, a few lines below this, the transport header "grammar" specifies:

";" "port" "=" port [ "-" port ]

making the second port number clearly optional :-)

Webcams typically only send media without RTCP, so this makes a lot of sense.

And as usual, being liberal in what you accept is good thing.
