Here's one I don't know the answer to off the top of my head:

Right now, we can offer the same SDP we've offered before (not changing the o line). This is used, for instance, with session-timer when we want to use
a re-INVITE but don't really want to change the session.

However, the specs allow the answer to such a non-changed offer to be different from the previous answer.

What was the motivation? There were a few attendees at SIPit 21 arguing that implementation would be simpler for them if this answer had to be a copy of the previous answer as well. Did we allow it to change just because we could? Or is there an application I'm not remembering that really needs this flexibility? If not, would we be willing to add this restriction?

3PCC is a source of an almost unlimited set of corner cases. :-)

A 3pcc controller doing a transfer may well send an offerless invite to one UA and then send the offer it gets back to an entirely different UA than had been in the session before. So of course the answer will be entirely different.

There are probably other reasons, but I need more time to think of them.

        Thanks,
