   What you quoted talks about what the offer can _send_.
   It doesn't talk about what the offerer must be willing to receive  
   (nor does it constrain what the answerer can send).

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you, but in regard to what the offerer
must be willing to receive, this seems unambiguous:

   > Here's section 7 of RFC 3264 (found by Ernst Horvath):
   > [...]
   >    The offerer MAY immediately cease listening for media formats that
   >    were listed in the initial offer, but not present in the answer.

In regard to what the answerer can send, RFC 3264 section 6.1 is
clear:

   The answerer MUST send using a media format in the offer that is
   also listed in the answer [...].

   Now we need to find where to put pointers to this so that it isn't  
   so hard for implementers in the future to find.

I don't want to sound snarky, but isn't "Read RFC 3264." implicit in
regard to SIP implementation?

I'm willing to have it pointed out to me that it's easier to overlook
this information than I'm allowing for, but it seems to me that the
answers to these questions are both what one would naively expect, and
also are documented in the sections of the document that one would
expect to find them in.  The only gotcha that I can see is the
consequences of forking, if the offer is contained in a dialog-forming
request, in that until the transaction of the dialog-forming request
is terminated, the UAC must behave as if there are unknown un-answered
offers in flight.  But that is implicit in the RFC 3264 model once one
thinks about it.
