Technical Summary
The caller preferences specification for the Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP) allows a caller to express preferences that the call
be routed to a User Agent (UA) with particular capabilities.
Similarly, a specification exists to allow a UA to indicate its
capabilities in a registration. Amongst those capabilities are the
type of media streams the agent supports, described as top-level MIME
types. The 'application' MIME type is used to describe a broad range
of stream types, and provides insufficient granularity as a
capability. This specification allows a UA to indicate which
application sub-types the agent supports.
