   Some additional feedback on the grammar:

- The use of ';' as a delimiter for rid-list complicates the parse code if
';' is also used as a delimiter for rid-attr-list. For example, consider:

a=rid:3 send pt=96 depend=1;2;max-fps=30
vs
a=rid:3 send pt=96 depend=1,2;max-fps=30


- There does not seem to be anywhere for extensions to rid-attr-list to
hook in. We should make room for that, and forbid any such extensions from
using ';' since that is reserved as a delimiter.

- There is an example where max-br takes no value:

a=rid:1 send pt=97; max-br=; max-height=720;

   Is this intended?

Best regards,
Byron Campen
