An example of using reinvite-without-sdp is depicted 
within Figure 9: Mid-Call Announcement of 
http://www.softarmor.com/sipwg/drafts/draft-rosenberg-sip-3pcc-02.txt

Using basic SIP without reinvite-without-sdp, 
the SDP change loop could have been introduced.
The controller would have to send "previous" 
SDP in a reinvite on behalf of one party.
However once that party receives a reinvite, 
it can change its SDP; thus triggering another 
invite and potentially a new SDP in response,
thus triggering ... sdp change loop.

A similar sdp change loop is discussed 
within section 2.2 of the same draft.
