+Abstract
+
+ This document registers with the IANA a new media feature tag
+ associated with the 'message' media type. This media feature tag
+ indicates that a particular device supports 'message' as a streaming
+ media type. Media feature tags can be used to route calls to devices
+ that support certain features.

+RFC 4569 Message Feature Tag July 2006
+
+
+1. Introduction
+
+ The Session Description Protocol (SDP) specification [5] defines a
+ number of media types. RFC 3840 [4] registers with the IANA media
+ feature tags associated with all those media types except for the
+ 'message' media type. This document registers a new media feature
+ tag that is associated with the 'message' media type.
+
+ The reason why the 'message' media feature tag was not registered by
+ RFC 3840 was that when RFC 3840 was published, the SDP specification
+ was RFC 2327 [1]. RFC 3840 defined media feature tags for all the
+ media types defined by RFC 2327. However, RFC 2327 did not define
+ the 'message' media type. This media type was defined by the revised
+ SDP specification [5], which was published after RFC 3840.
+
+2. Security Considerations
+
+ Section 11.1 of RFC 3840 [4] discusses security considerations
+ related to the use of media feature tags.
+
+3. IANA Considerations
+
+ This specification registers a new media feature tag in the SIP [3]
+ tree per the procedures defined in RFC 2506 [2] and RFC 3840 [4].
+
+ Media feature tag name: sip.message
+
+ ASN.1 Identifier: 21
+
+ Summary of the media feature indicated by this tag: This feature
+ tag indicates that the device supports message as a streaming
+ media type.
+
+ Values appropriate for use with this feature tag: Boolean.
+
+ The feature tag is intended primarily for use in the following
+ applications, protocols, services, or negotiation mechanisms: This
+ feature tag is most useful in a communications application for
+ describing the capabilities of a device, such as a phone or PDA.
+
+ Examples of typical use: Routing a call to a phone that can
+ support session-based instant messaging.
+
+ Related standards or documents: RFC 4569.
+
+ Security Considerations: Security considerations for this media
+ feature tag are discussed in Section 11.1 of RFC 3840.
