For the same reasons I just wrote in response to Jim's mail, I'm not sure some kind of a REJECT-UPGRADE action would be enough to address such a scenario, especially in case, for instance, part of the update attempt was accepted and the rest rejected. Considering several different aspects of a session may be subject to change, such a mechanism should be aware of that.
