"180 ringing" is a state that I can relay to other protocols - we know that 
there's
something out there that is in fact alerting the callee. 183 can be anything,
normally translated as PROGRESS. In many apps, the ringing state is 
very important and it will be missed if we get no 180.

Remember that the rendering might be something very different than audio.

Well, in my head the 180 with SDP means I'll get a ring signal in audio.

183 with SDP is something I would like to be limited to operator messages 
before an error code in the implementations, or just an informationial message 
before proceeding with ringing ("You need to refill your account soon"). Today, 
it's very often used for ringing and I can't determine if we actually have 
someone that is alerted on the other end.

Especially with gateways to deaf people, it is very important to get an alert 
confirmation so that we can render the ringing in some way that works and we 
can move to a state where we are more prepared to activate a translator 
service. Sending 183 with audio doesn't help at all.
