Yes, the character '#' may not appear in a SIP "user".  This is inconvenient, 
because '#' is one of the DTMF characters.  However, '#' can be *represented* 
by %23 in a SIP "user", and this is what is done when a UA wishes to send a 
"user" that the human user thinks of as "I dialed #."  E.g.:

INVITE sip:6300%[email protected] SIP/2.0
...

Of course, there is no rule requiring a user agent to provide the human user 
with a method to cause such an INVITE to be sent.  But SIP elements are 
required to be able to *receive* and correctly process such an INVITE.  
Well-mode SIP phones do all this correctly.
