But a word of caution on whether "most implementations accept/ initiate
this behavior". When it comes to implementation, you have to test case
by case. There are many implementations which may not even act on the
directionality attribute lines and there are implementations which still
follows the RFC2543 way of putting call on hold, which sets the ISDP's c
line destination address to zero (0.0.0.0).

You are asking if it is permissible to change the directionality
(sendonly, sendrecv, readonly, inactive) of a media stream and the
codecs in a single offer/answer?

Yes - its fine to do that.

The way you phrase the question suggests you consider the directionality
attributes to simply be a way of communicating the Call Hold feature. 
While the directionality attributes can be used to indicate a desired
state due to placing the call on hold, they can also be used for other
purposes.
