Salut Francois,

I had a look at draft-ietf-sip-sips-05 and have a few comments.
Apologies if some of these comments were already discussed.

Section 3.2, the following paragraph:
   Furthermore, consider the problem of using SIPS inside a dialog.  If
   [EMAIL PROTECTED] sends a request to [EMAIL PROTECTED] using a SIPS 
Request-URI, then, according
   to [RFC3261 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3261> ]/8.1.1.8, "the
Contact header field MUST contain a SIPS
   URI as well".  This means that [EMAIL PROTECTED], upon sending a new Request 
within
   the dialog (e.g., a BYE or re-INVITE), will have to use a SIPS URI.
   If there is no Record-Route entry, or if the last Record-Route entry
   consist of a SIPS URI, this implies that [EMAIL PROTECTED] must understand 
SIPS in
   the first place, and must also support TLS.  If the last Record-Route
   entry however is a sip URI, then b would be able to send requests
   without using TLS (but b would still have to be able to handle SIPS
   schemes when parsing the message).  In either case, the Request-URI
   in the request from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to B would be a SIPS URI.

According to 3261, the uri type found in the route is ignored if the
request-uri is sips:

"Independent of which URI is used as input to the procedures of [4], if
the
 Request-URI specifies a SIPS resource, the UAC MUST follow the
 procedures of [4] as if the input URI were a SIPS URI." RFC3261,
section 8.1.2

If my thinking is right, this possibly creates an odd situation if the
last hop proxy is a 2543 implementation that does not do loose routing
(do these still exist?). My take is that if the proxy is a loose router
and inserts a "sip" route, at the UA sending a request, the request-uri
is a "sips" URI, then TLS should be used. However, if the proxy is not a
loose router and inserts a "sip" route, then at the UA sending a
request, the request-URI will no longer be a "sips" URI but a "sip" URI,
thus allowing a different resolution mechanism. I wonder if this is
worth mentionning in the draft.

End of 3.2:

 SIPS URIs can even be used in
   other protocols that allow for including SIPS URIs (e.g., HTML).

Since HTML is not really a protocol, I would suggest the following
sentence:

 SIPS URIs can even be used in
   other protocols and documents that allow for including SIPS URIs
(e.g., HTML).


Section 3.4:
   When [I-D.ietf-sip-outbound
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-sip-sips-05#ref-I-D.ietf-sip-outb
ound> ] is used, a transport parameter in a
   REGISTER message would normally be ignored since the existing

I guess you mean "a transport parameter in a Contact-URI of a REGISTER
message..."?


Section 4.1.2:

If all the Contact header fields in a REGISTER are SIPS, a SIPS AOR
   MUST be used by the UAC in the REGISTER.

Which AOR are we talking abou? I guess you mean here: "..., a SIPS AOR
MUST be used in the To header of the REGISTER". It is confusing as there
are two AORs in a REGISTER. The To and From, which can potentially be
different. Does this whole paragraph applies to both From and To AORs?


Best Regards,

EricT
