Gonzalo,
Concerning the handling parameter, there is no normative statement in
RFC 3261 mandating that this be supported, as far as I can see. The only
normative language seems to be "If the handling parameter is missing,
the value "required" SHOULD be assumed." There is no normative statement
concerning what to do if it is present. Therefore any UA that inserts
handling=optional should not rely on this being taken account of by the
peer UA.
Things are a bit messed up wrt this header:
- 3261 section 20.11 says: "This SIP header field extends the MIME
Content-Type (RFC 2183 [18])." But RFC 2183 is about
Content-Disposition, so there is clearly a typo here.
- From reading that section you might think that 3261 invented the
handling parameter. It isn't defined in 2183, but it is defined
in 3204 which was published prior to 3261. That does have normative
statements about how the parameter is to be processed. So 3261
should have referenced that.
I don't know how we are going to dig ourselves out of this hole. I
suppose the usual answer is a new option tag.

Subject: I-D ACTION:draft-camarillo-sip-body-handling-00.txt
A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories.
Title : Message Body Handling in the Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP)
Author(s) : G. Camarillo
Filename : draft-camarillo-sip-body-handling-00.txt
Pages : 9
Date : 2007-5-23
This document clarifies how message bodies are handled in SIP.
Additionally, it discusses to which degree SIP user agents need to
support MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail
Extensions)-encoding of body
parts.
A URL for this Internet-Draft is:

In the body type:
"FILE
/internet-drafts/draft-camarillo-sip-body-handling-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant
mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
