Hi,

People in this WG seem to make a default assumption that SIP restricts people from doing new cool things, "prevents innovation" etc.

But, maybe SIP actually CAN be used to do what people (or, at least 75% of them) want. Maybe SIP isn't such a bad protocol after all - which would be good news for those of us who have been working with it for a decade :)

Regards,

Christer
