Ursula,

I would like to suggest that your question was asked on the wrong
mailing list.  The issue here is not "RSVP or no RSVP", but
"integrated services or no integrated services".  The outside
world often mistakenly uses "RSVP" when they mean "integrated
services", but we are supposed to know better. The int-serv
mailing list would therefore be more appropriate.
