Agree here.

I was just trying to say, "hey, if you don't care or don't want anything but this basic usage of HI, this is what you'd do". A spec would say something like MAY remove or MAY append. Main thing is, if you append, you do need to check to make sure the incoming RURI is not already there, and if it is, add the target attribute. So its simpler if you just remove everything and re-add, but destroys other usages of HI.

Yeah, that was exactly my concern.
It should ADD the entries to the existing History-Info if
present.

For a proxy:
If the proxy is rewriting the r-uri as a consequence of
looking it
up in a registration database, it looks at the incoming request. It removes any existing H-I values. It then adds two H-I
values that look like this:
   History-Info: <sip:incoming-ruri>;target;index=1
                 <sip:outgoing-ruri>;target;index=1.1

and thats it. So really easy for a proxy.
I'm confused. Why is it removing any existing HI values? Doesn't that break its compatibility with legacy HI usage?
