Subject: Re: [Sip] INFO and what to do about it?

Thanks for raising this, Dean.

I think the issue here is not so much 'what do we do about INFO', but rather, 
what are the actual extensibility models people are using with SIP and are we 
properly providing the techniques to make it all interoperate. In my mind, that 
is a really important issue.

In terms of what to do, I think we should absolutely define an INFO framework 
along the lines of Hadriel's draft, and we should produce a guidelines document 
which helps people figure out whether to use INFO, event packages, or something 
along the lines of a media framework like I had proposed with TOTE (separate 
question on whether to pursue TOTE or not).

I think the huge number of actual INFO usages, along with the many reasonable 
use cases we have identified, make a clear statement that this is something 
that is needed.
