Are'nt we puting some restrictions on sip by saying this ?
I very much agree that we shuld'nt be sending messages larger than IP
fragmentation but in some case that just can't be helped.

so you wuld'nt download the TIFF on your mobile, but what if your sip phone
is on your computer ^physically^ connected to the internet with reasonable

to the needs of everyone right.
