I agree that multipart/mixed makes sense when you're sending
different content-types and you want the receiver to process each
one that he understands.  This is useful if you're doing an Invite
that includes your location (application/sdp and application/pidf+xml [draft-ietf-sip-location-conveyance]).

However, if you're sending SDP and SDPng, multipart/mixed does not
make sense. If you're sending SDP and SDPng, you want the answerer to pick one. For the next decade, anyone that understands SDPng will also need to continue to understand SDP. And we don't want the
receiver to creatively use both the SDP offer and the SDPng offer.

It seems that this issue is moot, since SDPng seems to have been declared dead.

Email is similar: if you configure Thunderbird or Outlook to send messages with text/plain and text/html they are put inside multipart/related, not multipart/mixed.

Don't you mean multipart/alternative?
