Steve,
As you recall, this "another article" resulted in Vint Cerf asking
in his e-mail (Dec 3, 1992) to Greg Minshall for Novell to officially
clarify their position. Subsequently George Powers, the engineering
director for Novell's internetworking products development posted
the clarification on this.
Do we want similar thing to happen with respect to SIP ?
Who would be the person to clarify the issue ?

I think a better approach would be to clarify the issue *up front*,
so as to avoid any potential ambiguity.

However, the amount of danger depends on *what we do*. By making things
less ambiguous we reduce the danger of misinterpretation.
