Vendors can easily choose to do if they want in an interoperable way with out it being MTI. Why we should add a bunch of stuff in to version 1 of this that we can live without is beyond me. This is how IPv6 got big and hard, by everyone taking their favorite technology and attaching it to v6. I don't even want it as RECOMMENDED for audio - I see it as OPTIONAL.
