Hi Unni,

IMHO this makes sense only if you want to re-use old code. I like
Jingle because it's clean XML-based, and can be extended easily with
XML namespaces. It's easier to understand and implement from scratch
than similar SIP/SDP app.

Of cource your application can use it as a private extension without
it being a XEP. You also may need to modify SDP to make stanza
well-formed XML, like using entity escaping for characters >, <, ', "
and &.

BTW: "session-cancel" is not needed: session-terminate can be sent
before session is accepted.
