I wouldn't have, were it not for the Sip-Forum experience.  If a bunch of 
people who spent time on the topic don't even want to use the mechanism, what 
hopes do we have that it will succeed in the marketplace?  

And don't get me wrong - it could have been in a "Target" header too and we 
wouldn't have used that either, I think.  Although part of the reason is 
because we know IP-PBX's actually support Jonathan's original ua-loose-route 
concept (just without the Route header part), whereas I'm not so sure what 
legacy endpoints will do with an AoR-req-uri; nor whether the req-uri would 
ever survive end-to-end in Peering cases.  

So I was in favor of doing a separate Header because it was "safer", in terms 
of not breaking interoperability - but it's less chance for actually getting 
used, which in a way does break something too (customer expectations).  Ugh.  
Screwed either way.
