Change Process for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)

4.  Extensibility and Architecture

   Instead, the registration of SIP headers in Informational IETF
   specifications, or in documents outside the IETF, is now permitted
   under the Designated Expert (per RFC5226) criteria.  The future use

   designate SIP headers of limited applicability is discouraged.
