SIP/SDP can also carry the type "application", but I've never seen that in
practice, so I guess it's safe to ignore it.

A bit more about T.140:
It's live text, so characters are send one by one (or in small packets) and you
can send stuff like backspace, so it does not fit the normal IM way of
thinking. RFC 4103 specifies a way to carry the text over RTP.
It's like the "Chat" feature in the old ICQ for those who remember the golden
days.

That said, maybe we're better implementing that in the CM, but maybe not. Also,
this T.140 text normally comes with timestamps, so it could be subtitles (but I
 haven't seen anyone use it like that).

This is all low priority since we don't have an express requirement for it.
