It's curious you say that since the fact is that many of the today existing SIP implementations will fail if you write an horizontal TAB after the header name and before the ":". For example: Content-Length HTAB : 25 But note that HTAB is allowed there: Content-Length = ( "Content-Length" / "l" ) HCOLON 1*DIGIT HCOLON = *( SP / HTAB ) ":" SWS SP = %x20 HTAB = %x09 This is, the ultra-permissive syntax of SIP makes most of the implementations fail when parsing a SIP message if it contains a non common but valid syntax (as in the example above). > It would be best to invent a new protocol > entirely.

I don't like XML since it's not human readable (not easy to read). Anyway XML wouldn't be the final solution since the same issue as now could occur if the XML values are so permissive as they are now.
