I could be convinced that there should be some normative specification
of the *minimum* message size that all sip clients and servers MUST be
prepared to support. And perhaps it need not be the same for all kinds
of nodes. It seems more important that middleboxes (whether proxies,
SBCs, or whatever) not impose undue restrictions on the UAC and UAS.
But I don't think this is the right draft for it.\
