Hello,

I have got such concern regarding location conveyance in SIP messages: I am 
designing IMS Appilcation Server, acting as a proxy, that would query network 
elements for location information. As you wrote proxies cannot insert message 
body, so the only way is to provide location by reference. This requires 
appling SUBSCRIBE-NOTIFY mechanism, which makes the architecture of the 
solution quit complex.

In order to make it simpler I thought about including location information as 
locationValue inside the Geolocation header. In fact we do not need location 
represented with coordinates, but with cell-id (that's mobile network). PIDF-LO 
does not support it, but maybe inside a header that would be possible? There 
would be also an issue in indicating loaction target whose location is included 
(we plan to include both A and B parties location). Geolocation header would 
look like this:

Geolocation: {cell-id-3gpp} ;location-target="[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]";inserted-by="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

What do you think about souch a usage of Geolocation header, maybe you could 
give us some other solution?

Thank you in advance,
