Hi Dean, I have seen that the draft defines the relationship between SIP and SIPS and indicates that "A SIPS URI specifies that the resource be contacted securely."
I believe that IPSec can also achieve the same goal in terms of security. My question is shouldn't this specification define this as an acceptable possibility. If 2 proxies have an IPSec tunnel between them, I believe it is acceptable that they would pass SIPS communication just like TLS communication. Naturally IPSec can also be used to pass SIP communication. Basically almost any rule that applies to TLS in the SIPS context, applies to IPSec. The reason I think this is required is the fact that there are SIP and IPSec implementations and SIPS is not defined for these cases. If this is accepted, it would mean the draft should indicate "secure transport" instead of "TLS" (except where TLS is specifically discussed).
