That's not a relevant analogy and you know it. :)
3261 was an update for the base draft of SIP, upon which everything else  was 
dependent, for all intents and purposes.  Are you claiming this info draft is 
of that type?  Will the changes we make in here apply to all other RFCs, or all 
other message types, which normatively reference 3261 for their mechanics?  
Hardly.  Do we need to fix all known issues of RFC 3261 and all known problems 
of all its extensions which could possibly occur in an INFO message 
transaction, simply because they can happen in an INFO and this INFO update 
happens to be on our plate right now?  Because this multi-part thing is only 
like #32 on the Billboard top-100 list of rfc3261 problems.

This is an update to the INFO RFC, to address known problems with INFO - and in 
particular the problem of support-negotiation and message context.  If you're 
claiming its scope is broader, we have a big disconnect, because that was not 
my understanding of WG consensus for this work.

For example, I don't think we need to define how to make RFC 4474 work for INFO 
if it crosses B2BUA's.  That's a general problem for all messages. (nevermind 
the fact we can't agree on a solution)  Nor do I think we need to copy text 
from draft-ietf-sip-ipv6-abnf-fix into this draft, even though that applies to 
INFO, because that draft addresses problems for all message types.

There's nothing "special" about this multi-part issue for INFO over any other 
request method.
