I agree with Rockson.

As far as inferring somebody that doesn't understand this at all, if you 
offer a=sendonly, recvonly, or inactive, and get no complementary a= in 
the response you can presume the answerer didn't understand, so that you 
are still sendrecv. But I don't think you infer anything from the 
absence of a=sendonly in an answer to an offer with a=sendrecv.
