Hi Dale, You are correct that RTSP uses SDP with an different interpretation, the interpretation that is common to usage in SAP, rather than the one in O/A. I think you are correct that this should be pointed out, but belongs in the introduction, rather than down in the definition, although this appears to be the only section where it really matters. I thus propose a more generic version of your text in the D. section: This appendix describes how an SDP file determines the operation of an RTSP session. Thus, it is worth pointing out that the interpretation of the SDP is done in the context of the SDP receiver is the one being configured. This is the same as in SAP [RFC2974], this differs from SDP Offer/Answer [RFC3264] where the SDP describes what the peer agent is ready to receive and willing to send. Does this works for you?
