Section 9.2:

    SIP entities refuse media streams by setting the port to zero in the
    corresponding "m" line. "a=group" lines MUST NOT contain
    identification-tags that correspond to "m" lines with the port set to
    zero.

While this is stated in the context of answers, the statement itself 
seems unqualified. And it would be pretty silly if you could do it in 
the offer and not in the answer.
