Matthew,

 

Even in case of SIP, there is no need of standardization in case it is
within single webserver(skype). SIP supports x-header or proprietary
header to extend the way you want it for providing innovative
functionality. There is no extension barrier from SIP perspective but it
ensure that basic call works across web servers. For example, skype
browser user will able to talk to gmail real-time user even though all
skype functionality are not supported.

 

 In case you have the points why HTTP allows innovation but SIP will
not, let us discuss in detail.

 

Thanks

Partha

I find this reasoning hard to understand.  First, the SIP standard has
been around for a decade. What new standardization is needed?

I'm interested in hearing the reasons for why SIP MUST NOT be used in
browser.

 


The primary reason for avoiding a protocol like SIP between the web
browser and its associated server(s) is that adding *any* functionality
requires a round of standardization effort, whereas following the web
model (HTML and Javascript in the clients, arbitrary signaling over
HTTP) allows for immediate and frequent innovation on that channel.
