I'm personally happy with having it only in signaling. Should there
be some in media too, I would be in favor of keeping those two
separate -- I'm not a particular fan of protocol dependencies.
That's just not about aesthetic expression -- once a protocol
begins to depend on other protocol, which one possibly does not
need, the cost and adaptability decreases. Single-purpose
things without dependencies have a much sounder chance of
deployment.
