Hi,

> Section 6 would be OK, but now that SDPng is gone, it's irrelevant.

I have seen a few statements like this on the list lately. SIP intends 
to be, by design, session-description-format agnostic. Therefore, we 
need a mechanism that allows endpoints to try and use different 
session-description formats even if SDPng is dead.

Experimenting with new session-description formats is part of the 
innovation process we want to have in SIP.

In short, I do not think such a mechanism is irrelevant only because 
SDPng did not succeed. We still need such a mechanism.

Cheers,

Gonzalo
