I think the key point being made on the other side is that there's
nothing special about an event package. It is an identifier that
disambiguates the NOTIFY. In some cases other header values could serve
the same purpose (i.e. content-type w/ DTMF).

But that's a point solution that puts a band-aid on INFO for precisely one use case and leaves it broken for others. It doesn't scale to other uses for INFO.

That points to really only two sane approaches: either (a) come up with an unambiguous differentiator for various INFO usages (in the style of event packages), or (b) grandfather current approaches (band-aids and all) and forbid any other applications of INFO.

Eric's document basically takes the second approach, grandfathering all uses of INFO that are currently published in an RFC or an active internet-draft, and forbidding any others. The list is not long; I'll replicate it here:

 1. RFC 3372

You want more than that, you really need packages.
