The reason for this is to reduce the likelihood of partially broken 
calls getting setup (in addition to improving the ability of Asterisk 
users to be able to diagnose SDP parsing issues).

That's certainly an option, but since the SDP-related data structures in 
chan_sip don't currently have any way to represent the scenarios that I 
outlined in my message, chan_sip cannot properly construct a response 
that declines those media streams. The code changes required to do that 
would be much more extensive and definitely wouldn't be a candidate for 
release branches.
