The disadvantage of parsing to another structure (I am fond of JSON myself) is that one has to maintain a data definition for the format being parsed to, a defined transform between that and the "canonical SDP structure" has to be implemented in user space when one does SDP interoperability, both of those have to be updated for every SDP extension that someone defines somewhere, and one is still not free to define extensions on the non-SDP side if one still requires the ability to map them into SDP. If one uses the "native" SDP format, which is the format in which every extension to the format gets documented, the browsers are the ones who *have* to parse it (although others are likely to).
