This is almost right. In mime type rate is an optional parameter. In SDP it
is required. Kind and name are also required, but in mime type they are
part of an opaque string. So, having a structure that represents certain
fields parsed out will also insure that required fields are always present.
Representing these values as one string creates potential for some data to
be missing or not to be syntactically legal. Having a data structure that
can always be unambiguously converted to either mime type or SDP using a
few simple rules is better then having something that would need to be
parsed and reassembled.
