That's still a bug in Google's implementation, though. RFC4422 says 
that's optional, for both protocol profiles and mechanisms. (Section 
4, point 3a, and Section 5, point 2a).

RFC3920 doesn't mandate usage of an initial response either.

Of course, using the initial response facility makes sense if you 
can, since it always saves at least one round-trip.
