Looking at draft-kaplan-sip-session-id-02, the shorter the Session-Id
header is, the fewer complaints people will have about using it in
practice.  A couple of things could be done to shorten it:

- assign a single-letter abbreviation for the name

- use base64 rather than hex encoding

Base64 encoding reduces the header value to 22 characters from 32.
