Even if SIP is as it is just to be human readable, it doesn't justify the 
syntax it allows. For example:


a)
------------------------------------------------------------
Content-Length: 46
------------------------------------------------------------

b)
------------------------------------------------------------
Content-Length                                  :
     
                                
                                                46
------------------------------------------------------------


Both a) and b) are correct, and b) is not more human readable at all. Also a) 
is 400 times easier to parse than b) so, why allow b) ?

Ok, I understand that SIP was born from HTTP and so, but anyway I hope in a 
future SIP/X.0 appears eliminating so many and innecesary permissive syntax.

Regards.
