I find it quite plausible that an implementation might support multipart for some methods and not for others. Currently it is difficult/impossible to reflect that distinction in signaling. So far we have punted making changes to indicate such distinctions - thinking that doing so is not worth the trouble.

Hi,

Could different SIP methods (INVITE, MESSAGE) be given different Levels of 
Support for Multipart?

One of the tasks of the draft is to make support for at least some subtypes of multipart (e.g. mixed) mandatory.

I hope this is not a suggestion to make dereferencing of external bodies mandatory.

If the request is just to include some clarification of the use and handling of external bodies in this draft then I guess that does sound useful.

Hi,
I suggest Content Indirection Mechanism defined in rfc4483
should also be
considered in this draft.

It is a little special, an example from rfc4483:
6.1.  Single Content Indirection

           INVITE sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] SIP/2.0
           Accept: message/external-body application/sdp
           Content-Type: message/external-body;
                ACCESS-TYPE=URL;
URL="http://www.example.net/party/06/2002/announcement";;>> EXPIRATION="Sat, 20 Jun 2002 12:00:00 GMT";
                size=231
           Content-Length: 105

           Content-Type: application/sdp
           Content-Disposition: session
           Content-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

In addition, what happens to the INVITE request if the
recipient can not get
the indirect content?

Nits: a letter "l" is missing in the title.

Just one comment in addition to what Gonzalo said:

REAL use case for this?
AFAICT, we have decided not to pursue SDPng but we still need a
mechanism in order to be able to, at some point, migrate to
new session
description formats. The current consensus, as I understand
it, is that
multipart/alternative should not be used to provide
alternative SDP
descriptions, but that it could be used to provide alternative
session>>> descriptions written in different formats.
The other classic example, because it is just like email, is
MESSAGE>> with a multipart/alternative containing plain text and html.
