In RFC3204, the QSIG or ISUP parts do not appear to have any meaning without
the SDP.  Or do they?  For example, is it meaningful for me to send an
INVITE that has only the QSIG part (and no SDP)?

Even if consensus were to be formed that there was a mistake?  Obviously no
such consensus has been formed, but I would like to have the discussion.

If we do consider it acceptable to change RFC3261's requirements around MIME
multipart support, I suggest it is reasonable to analyze what we may have
done wrong elsewhere around MIME with SIP.

And external-body, and all the other parts.  Yes, that is my underlying
question in light of Gonzalo's document and Cullen's stated desire for the
SIP community to document multipart support.
