My understanding was that the idea was to label a particular media stream, rather than (for example) a SIP body.

  Different media streams could have different labels.

Keith is right. As an example, SIP might be used to setup a call with an audio stream using English and a video stream using American Sign Language.

SDP also allows other protocols besides SIP to be used to establish the session.

 OK, but that's not what I really was thinking about....

RFC 3282 (and its predecessors as part of the HTTP protocol) distinguished between two distinct fields:

 - "Here's what I'm willing to accept" - where prioritization is important
- "Here's what I'm going to use" - where prioritization is not only unimportant, it's meaningless

It might be good if whatever comes out of this discussion supports making that distinction.

Do you think that the proposal in the draft now does not do so? It proposes using an SDP media attribute in the offer/answer to negotiate language (i.e., offer includes prioritized languages and answer has the highest priority language supported by the other end).



You may also want to think about how language tags interact with direction - if you're talking to an interpreter, where audio going one way is English and what comes back is in Spanish, are you able to mark the RTP session (if that's what you're marking, and not the media stream) as "sending English, receiving Spanish"?

The proposal in the draft is that this be media level, not session level (in part because different media may use different languages, e.g., spoken and signed).


But this level of detail doesn't really belong on the IETF list - which list should we use?

I suppose the mmusic list, since the proposal uses SDP.

  Subject: Re: [MMUSIC] Update on Orlando time for human language draft
  discussion

  Sorry for barging in late on this thread, but quick questions:

  - what's the right mailing list to post to on this one?
  - have everyone read RFC 3282 (the standalone "accept-language" spec)?

  Seems to me the desired semantic is more accept-language than
  content-language.
