The cases where combinations make sense (RTP/AVPF with UDP/FEC for instance) also usually require that separate RTP sessions be used. [[QUESTION IN DRAFT: Are there sensible combinations?]]

The only combinations I can think of that make sense are RTP/AVP with RTP/AVPF, and RTP/SAVP with RTP/SAVPF. It's not clear why you'd bother though, since the AVPF variant behaves the same as the AVP variant if you don't use the feedback.
