I do not think adding ICE option will help. Unsupported ICE options are
simply ignored so we end up not knowing what address remote agent is using.
Unfortunately FQDN was not well defined in RFC 5245. "Fortunately" I have
not seen anybody actually implementing FQDN In the worst case ICE
nomination fails.  This is no different then having no connectivity for
this specific candidate. Also, if FQDN handling is part of ice-sip-sdp,
then agent should already include ice2 option.

I can probably describe this in ice-sip-sdp in about 3 paragraphs. The
background and other text for a new draft will make is much bigger effort.
How about I put together a pull request for ice-sip-sdp and then we can
decide if this requires a new draft?
