Hi Stephen,

I guess this is either an existing problem with whatever
a "'sip.instance' media feature tag" really is or else this
draft creates a new problem, but the quoted text seems to
me to be non-deterministic impossible-to-program-for words
seemingly about (but not actually helping with) privacy.

Am I confused?

The text which you quoted above is similar to text which is found in RFC 7255. Several years ago, there was a controversy about that document.
