Gonzalo,

Sorry for my tardy reply.

I like your changes, with a minor edit at the end:

"In particular, in order not to reduce the security level for a given
session, re-INVITEs and UPDATE requests SHOULD be secured using a 
mechanism equivalent to or stronger than the initial INVITE request 
that created the
session. For example, if the initial INVITE request was end-to-end
integrity protected or encrypted, subsequent re-INVITEs and UPDATE
requests should also be so."
