I disagree. The presence of an Identity header declares that the asserter of the anonymized identity of the address, will if suitably encouraged (as in a court order), reveal the identity of the client. If they aren't willing to take the responsibility of having made an assertion of identity on behalf of that client, then they shouldn't put an Identity header in. I might be more willing to accept a call from an anonymous party if I knew that, should said anonymous party be making a threat, my lawyer can subpoena somebody and find the culprit. -- Dean _______________________________________________ Sip mailing list http://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/sip This list is for NEW development of the core SIP Protocol Use [EMAIL PROTECTED] for questions on current sip Use [EMAIL PROTECTED] for new developments on the application of sip
