Yes, I did that on purpose. I don't see a point in doing it. > A sip caller given the tel might figure that out, but might > not. If you had user enum, and the caller used it, then all > is well.

So, a SIP user (or anybody young enough to prefer IM paradigm to phone paradigm) will use sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The old luddites with a PSTN-looking phone will keep on dialing digits on their phone. That's where the Tel URI is useful. The niche market for sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED];user=phone is very small. Beyond people on this mailing list, I really don't see who would care. I really believe that practically speaking, sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED];user=phone is meant to be used "on-the wire" as opposed to by users. sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~= http://www.att.com sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED];user=phone ~= http://www.att.com/gen/landing-pages?pid=3308 I think we are rat-holing on imaginary issues. _______________________________________________ Sip mailing list https://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
