I believe my implementors have implemented History-Info.

I believe my implementors have implemented Diversion.

They have implemented interworking between the two.

Assuming you use my implementations as reference implementations and document 
exactly what they do, and nothing else, I have no problem with proceeding with 
this work.

Other people may however have a problem with that approach, but I am quite 
happy to ignore them.

regards

Keith
