Yeah, header names are funny things.  We want them to mean X, but other people 
interpret them to mean Y, and in reality they end up meaning Z. :)

I used the term "Session-ID" because it was what I thought common operators of 
SIP deployments would expect it to be, because I think most people think of a 
Session as actually a superset of a Call-ID - the Call-ID could change 15 times 
along the path, but it's the same session. (in many ways a Call-ID is not a 
"Call" identifier at all!)  But I grant that it confuses us with media 
"sessions".

How about: "Correlation-ID", or even "Opaque-Call-ID"?
