Re: [Sip] Binary Encoding for SIP

You should apply for a job at a local tabloid - headlining a discussion 
on the encoding of MIME body parts into the mother of all mailing list 
battles on protocol encoding.

Given the first reaction to the draft: this is only about the SIP body. 
Cullen is not proposing that SIP headers be coded in ASN.1 :-)

I'm for option (a), for the reasons you mention. The more interesting 
question is whether all SIP devices still need to be prepared to receive 
all the various encodings.
