RE: [Simple] Internal WG Review: Recharter of SIP for InstantMessaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions (simple)

[<[e-mail]>]

Hi,

Yes, I think this is a feature that would be needed in practice. Having
two messaging mechanisms without clear guidance on how they relate to
each other is going to cause interoperability issues - if not on the
protocol level then at least on the UI-to-UI or user-to-user level.

Another thing is that there should be some kind of
specification/guideline on how to actually deliver one-shot messages
that are larger than 1300 bytes. One way is to use MSRP, another to do
content indirection with MESSAGE. In MSRP the key is the ability for the
sender to indicate (at least as a preference/hint) that the session is
established for just sending a single message, not to open a
conversation. This is wanted by providers who would like to be able to
offer something similar to MMS service on top of a SIP infra. 

SIMPLE WG has not been very enthusiastic about this in the past, so I
think OMA has already defined a particular mechanism for MSRP. If
everyone who is interested in this is anyway involved in OMA, as it
seems, there would be not much value for IETF to do anything about it.
However, if there is real interest outside OMA, it would be useful to
have some work in SIMPLE WG.
