Hi, <Dean Willis hat on> Offer/answer is a mess. Instead, let's regard media as an application on top of SIP, and use an Info Package for negotiating the media. There is no connection to the SIP transactions, which means we don't need complicated rules on when and where to insert SDP, and we don't need to describe how offer/answer works for re-INVITEs etc. <Dean Willis hat off> I don't disagree with what people are saying, but trying to read it from a I-am-a-new-implementor-and-I-would-like-to-get-it-right-from-the-beginning perspective I don't think anything is clarified. Eg. talking about that an SDP sent after the answer would be "missunderstood as a new offer" is confusing. The important thing is not whether the UAS includes the UAS answer in subsequent responses or not, because the UAC still has to handle such situation. What is important is that the UAS MUST NOT send a *new* offer.
