I'm saying if you use identity-media, then you MUST use DTLS-SRTP (or  
at least the handshake part if you don't need actual encryptio, or a  
NULL encryption).

That way it doesn't weaken anything. Also, nothing prevents anybody  
from using classic 4474 if you want to prevent nasty SBCs from mucking  
around with SDP: I can see enterprises doingbso between them.
