> Are you suggesting that the "minimal SIP+O/A as an option within the browser" be baked into the browser, or simply provided as a standard JS library that would be made available to those who wanted to use it.  It sounds like you are suggesting the later, but I want to be certain, since it could make a big difference.

I am suggesting that it be baked into the browser, but optional to use.  I am
willing to consider alternatives that provide similar ability to the web author,
such as external "standard" libraries, or intermediate forms like someone
suggested such as the SIP state machine in the browser, but parsing in the JS
(which would also require a "standard" external library, just smaller).
