Just to add to what others have already said, we looked into this within
the SIP Parity AG of IMTC and concluded that while RFC 5939 is the
correct standards compliant way to achieve best effort security,
supporting the negotiation of crypto attributes using the RTP/AVP media
profile is useful for interworking with implementations that have not
yet added support for RFC 5939 to address this properly.

Cheers,
Charles
