Curious, why not? In principle, if the endpoints support IPv6 for media, why 
can't that be described in an SDP body transmitted over IPv4? 

Is it not the very purpose of the separation of the signaling and bearer plane 
to be able to enact this kind of functional decomposition between signaling 
agents and media gateways?
