Can you please go in more detail about SIP? I looked into it some time
ago, and (apart from several ugly XML-based extensions) it seemed fine.
I actually use baresip[0] – a small command line client with audio and
video support. Although it lacks several features I would like to see,
it is quite usable,

Actually I would choose ii-like interface over curses-based UI. One may
implement latter on top of former, but not vice versa.

Actually, this is a good argument for choosing Tox over SIP.
Unfortunately,
http://tox.im appears to be unreachable, so I can't
comment on protocol itself yet.
