Miguel,

You make the assumption that the media distributor will not see the SDP, 
I suppose.  While certainly a valid model, I'll admit that I had 
personally assumed any media forwarding function would see the SDP (or 
at least be told the PT values and any relevant flow information similar 
to what RFC 6236 provides) and would thus know which PT values 
correspond to what video resolutions if simulcast is employed.

Paul
