Re: [Sip] INFO Framework: Tags

see a need to specify this as part of the extension in general, but if a
particular package needs a feature tag, let it define one. Keep the
extension simple.

Only standards-track RFCs can define SIP option tags under RFC 3427, and we have no plans to relax this requirement.

But we have a much looser policy for INFO packages; most will not be standards-track.

So, for those sorts of packages, an info-package option tag is potentially quite useful.

For that to be useful, each package would need its own option. While I guess we could define things such that each info-package registration implied a corresponding option tag registration, then that would be an end-around of the standards-track requirement for defining option tags. We really don't want that, or we will have people defining info-packages they don't intend to use, just to get an option tag.
