That makes sense to me, and I've added this into the revised draft.

I started adding this in, and realized I didn't understand the usage in 
UPDATE (or, probably, re-INVITE). Since there is no new dialog being 
requested, and consequently no "answering", what good does it do to 
discuss answering modes?

So clearly your hinting at a usage that I haven't quite grokked yet. 
Please elaborate.
