Dale -

What you quoted talks about what the offer can _send_.
It doesn't talk about what the offerer must be willing to receive (nor does it constrain what the answerer can send).

   I don't think that's right. Can you show me the text that supports
   that claim?

Here's section 7 of RFC 3264 (found by Ernst Horvath):

7 Offerer Processing of the Answer

   When the offerer receives the answer, it MAY send media on the
accepted stream(s) (assuming it is listed as sendrecv or recvonly in the answer). It MUST send using a media format listed in the answer, and it SHOULD use the first media format listed in the answer when it
   does send.

      The reason this is a SHOULD, and not a MUST (its also a SHOULD,
      and not a MUST, for the answerer), is because there will
      oftentimes be a need to change codecs on the fly.  For example,
during silence periods, an agent might like to switch to a comfort noise codec. Or, if the user presses a number on the keypad, the
      agent might like to send that using RFC 2833 [9].  Congestion
control might necessitate changing to a lower rate codec based on
      feedback.

The offerer SHOULD send media according to the value of any ptime and
   bandwidth attribute in the answer.

   The offerer MAY immediately cease listening for media formats that
   were listed in the initial offer, but not present in the answer.

I skimmed draft-ietf-sipping-sip-offeranswer-04 and I see nothing in
it that would alter the interpretation of this section.
