Actually what I am hoping to do is to just clearly document the applicability of RFC4474 to numbers and be much crisper with guidance on when to use it, when to not, what it buys you with numbers (since it does help a little even then - receivers can know the domain that asserts that number and use blacklists/whitelists to judge trustability).
I also want to make sure we are not basing SRTP security on integrity properties delivered with RFC4474, when said properties aren't really delivered so well with phone numbers. -Jonathan R.
