I think I'm starting to understand what you and Paul are saying. 

There's nothing to offer in the initial INVITE, so you're asking one of
the endpoints to provide the offer that starts the process instead.

That seems obvious in hindsight, but I hadn't really considered it,
since most of the click-to-call type scenarios I'm familiar with use the
INVITE-hold-REFER approach.

Thanks a lot, guys!
