Any MIME-type that is defined to have binary content could legitimately 
appear in a SIP message. I'm not personally aware of any RFCs that 
define SIP extensions that require the transport of binary message 
bodies, but it's certainly allowed. RFC 3261 places no restrictions on 
the MIME-types that can appear in the Content-Type header.
