In principle, the body of a SIP message may have any MIME media type,
including binary types. Of course, a body is useless unless the
recipient knows how to process the media type. However, one should not
pass large bodies (over maybe 100 bytes) in SIP messages, because the
protocol does not regulate the transfer of large messages well. A
better technique would be to use the body to contain a URL for
retrieving a large binary object. Or use one of the "content
indirection" MIME headers to pass the URL.
I haven't seen too many SDP bodies < 100 bytes :)
