I knew it. But my proposal here is to do extension for the Replaces 
header. And you may refer to the first mail of this thread for details.

I MUST point out that Join header's semantics is not proper for this use 
case.

By my experience, INVITE-with-Join(only downlink video) *could* be treated 
as a video duplication request. But how about INVITE-with-Join(only 
bidirectional video)? 
In fact, no like audio stream, there's no physical meaning for video 
streams' mixing. So, if UA Z send an INVITE-with-Join, with only 
bidirectional video, UA X may not know how to handle it.(So, I feel that 
RFC3911 need clarification!)

Let's analyse what would happen after UA Y sending a re-INVITE to remove 
it's video stream from it's dialog. As the use case of 
"INVITE-with-Join(only bidirectional video)" is meaning, as I showed in 
the previous section, we may analyse a similar one: "INVITE-with-Join(only 
downlink video)" .

Not like audio mixing, the session can be downgraded from three-party to 
two-party, when one leave the session. If the vedio between X and Y is 
over, I think the duplicated one between X and Z would lose it's vedio 
source.
