I don't know. I'm trying to understand the intended usage and how it 
plays out in the example. If what I have in my address book for you is 
just your sip URI, then how do I figure out how to establish a chat 
session? How do I decide to use a data channel rather than MSRP over 
TLS? And do I just somehow derive the msrp URL from your sip URL?

I guess if I am running in a browser and using WebRTC then I try a data 
channel because there is no alternative I can use. But that isn't this 
example. Must I have something else in my address book to tell me what 
you support? Or should I be trying both in my invite and seeing what you 
accept? (That also isn't this example.)

I would hope that the draft doesn't require magical thinking for the 
example to work.
