Re: [Slim] Question about "asymmetrical language use"

The wording is intended to permit only one to be specified for 
asymmertical use cases, it is not intended to disallow both to be 
specified.  This could be clarified by adding "or both":

    When placing an emergency call, and in any other case where the
    language cannot be inferred from context, in an offer each media
    stream primarily intended for human language communication SHOULD
    specify both (or for asymmetrical language use, one or both of) the
    'hlang-send' and 'hlang-recv' attributes.
