There is an existing proposal published by my employer which is along 
these lines. It might be helpful if the folks who are just now realizing 
what the issues are with dealing with both the complexity of the format 
of SDP as well as the embedded offer-answer semantics could review that 
and see how closely it matches their needs, rather than starting from a 
clean sheet of paper.
