I don't think we should restrict flexibility here when it works and 
makes sense.

I agree that Alt 1 doesn't work *if* the m-line in question shares 
addr/prot with other m-lines that are also accepted, bundled or not. But 
the normal first offer won't present that situation. If the addr/port in 
the m-line in question is unique among all the accepted m-lines, then 
this should be acceptable.

(Note, this is a degenerate case of bundle splitting. There are real use 
cases for it. If it can be done without a 2nd o/a, then lets allow that.)
