Hadriel,

I understand your logic. BUT are we agreed that we should be making 
non-backward-compatible normative changes to 3261 (or any of the key 
RFCs) for reasons other than correcting out and out errors and 
ambiguities? Seems like that is the start of SIP/3.0.

Specifically I'm thinking about vendors who don't attend IETF and aren't that up-to-speed on all the nuances and such.  An update to 3261 with normative mandatory language is clearer, I think.
