Hi elias,

Are you saying that the restriction was imposed only for the sole reason to identify 
if the remote party has changed his sdp or not. Cant the same logic be like this:-
1. If the origin line in the offer has been changed, then it means that the sdp has 
been changed
2. If the origin line is same, then check the version field, If it has been 
incremented, then sdp has been changed
3. If the version is not incremented, then the sdp has not changed. In this case the 
party receiving the sdp must just verify that that sdp has not been changed.

Correct me if am wrong.
