I agree with the semantic, but I think 'supported-message-size' describes
better what you describe above. It is not the maximum, since it is not specified
what happens with larger messages. Don't get me wrong: I like you semantic,
just find the name a bit misleading.

Why not remove your second point? If the sender wants to limit the size,
it will signal it in SDP, if it has no limit, it doesn't signal it.
