Its actually a bit confusing:

from: sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED];random=stuff;tag=value;other=value

Here all the parameters are associated with the URL.

However if you had a space as in :
from: sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED];random=stuff;tag=value; other=value

(notice the space before the other)

Here the other  parameter is associated with the SIP URL.

The above can be made clearer by using angle brackets:

from: < sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED];random=stuff;tag=value >; other=value

However, the rfc allows for the former form.

Hope this helps.
