The above is not a valid syntax for an SDP attribute. The value of an 
attribute must be separated from the name by a ":".

Please take a look at draft-ietf-mmusic-rfc4566bis-12 for more on this.

That includes my proposal for cleaning up how attributes are defined. I 
suggest using that style in this draft.

In a similar vein, I suggest that when defining the new fmtp usage, just 
provide the new syntax for format-specific-params, not for the whole 
attribute.

(While writing this I'm realizing that the new text defining the fmtp 
parameter in 4566bis should specify *how* this should be done.)
