It is easy to build an offer; it is the potential side effects that may not be 
desirable.  Hopefully any device sending an offer-less INVITE and requiring 
100rel also supports UPDATE, forking proxies, and won't cancel the INVITE if it 
doesn't like the required offer.  

For instance if a proxy does not support media and wants to return a 181 (or 
another 1xx potentially known or unknown by UAC), hopefully the UAC won't 
cancel the INVITE if receives an offer with IP6 .invalid connection address and 
foo media.
