Andrew: If you look at the SIP grammar, this obviously will not be the
only header with multiple representations.  We simply keep on adding
to that list.

Beyond that, I think discussing about this to a great degree will not
lead us anywhere.  I am interested in this issue from an academic
point of view, but pragmatism says that we proceed further without
delays.

As an individual, I am happy to allow the draft to proceed with the
alias defined (or not).

Thanks,
