Hi, thanks for this work. IMHO this is clearly the way to go, and the
proposal that could make everyone happy. Let me just a comment:


-----------------------------
5.3.3.  OK
The OK message is used by the receiver of an ANSWER message to
indicate that it has received the ANSWER message. It has no contents
itself and is merely used to stop the retransmissions of the ANSWER
-----------------------------

I wonder how much needed is the OK message taking into account that
the transport will always be reliable. So, instead of retransmiting
the ANSWER until an OK arrives, why not retransmit the OFFER until an
ANSWER arrives and drop the OK message from the spec?

Probably I miss something here as in the case the offered wants to
signal ringing (a 180 in SIP) it conveys no media so there would be no
ANSWER message for long time until the offered human user decides to
accept or reject the incoming call. If so, please forget this comment
:)
