Hi Andreas,

Offer can not be in the non-reliable provisional responses. But Answer can be in the non-reliable provisional responses.

In theory, any SIP message can include session description in its
body. But not all the session description in a SIP message is an
offer or an answer. Only the session description that conforms to the
rules described in the standard track RFCs can be interpreted as an
offer or an answer. The rules how to handle offer/answer model are
currently defined in several RFCs. Unless defined in an RFC
explicitly as an offer or an answer, except ones in non-reliable
provisional response to INVITE request, a session description should
not be included in SIP messages to avoid confusions.

Please refer the following Draft for more information
