Actually, I wasn't suggesting that. The '[' ']' characters would effectively serve as quotes, using both '"' and '[' would be superfluous (and some would say less preferred "[aesthetically]" speaking) The approach of extending "gen-value" to include IPv6 addresses (gen-value /= IPv6address) is less appealing to me. That would cause the parser to accept much more than it should. Another reason to use the '[' ']' syntax is RFC2732: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2732.txt. It does the same thing for much the same reasons Regards, jeroen _______________________________________________ Sip-implementors mailing list [email protected] https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/cucslists/listinfo/sip-implementors
