Re: [Sip] Binary Encoding for SIP

Cullen,

This is an attractive proposal because it has potential to make sip 
implementations simpler. But before I can answer I need clarification on 
one thing:

Does this apply to content referenced and fetched via content-indirection?

This proposal only has value if my mime processor *never* needs to deal 
with any content-transfer-encoding other than binary. If content 
referenced by content indirection still might use other encodings, then 
that value is lost. Unfortunately, given the potential range of 
transports that might be used with content indirection, I don't know if 
requiring binary can be done in general.
