I don't know of any explicit guidelines but use
of "180 Ringing" with SDP is certainly acceptable.

As it says:
"This response MAY be used to initiate local ringback."

I think this means that you can use SDP if you want
your UA to play ringback back to the caller.

This has applications in SIP-ISDN gateways (amongst
others) where it may wish to pass back a ringback
generated by the ISDN side.
