I don't think not assigning an appearance number will work. If a Shared AOR has multiple appearances, then I believe a specific appearance number will need to be assigned and sent in the NOTIFY to other UAs. This is how other UAs will know which appearance lamp to light. > If we were looking to simplify things further, perhaps we could just > meet this requirement by saying a different From URI should be used. I prefer this approach. If a UA is not capable of sending the appearance number, then it doesn't understand the shared-appearances feature anyway.
