No doubt, they are, they break the "be conservative in what you send" principle. I'm no way happy about such implementations either. It is still no excuse for implementations breaking the "be liberal in what you receive" principle. Remember that "running code" refers to deployed code. To deploy, you need interoperability. Receiver's liberalism is a much better interoperability strategy than strict spell-checking, imho. I'm sure there are lot if historical evidences in the Internet. >They need to fix at their side.

This kind of One can, we do so, it works, it works even with lr=foobar, and it increases the number of UAs with which the server interoperates, which is good. We don't operate with the values -- we only operate with presence of the parameter, which is what it is all about. -jiri _______________________________________________ Sip-implementors mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/sip-implementors
