I didnt get a chance to say this at the mike.

You *cannot* change the BNF for the call-id. If you did, you might end up with the following problem:

A new UA gets built, compliant to this update. It is one of these 'aggressive parsing' UAs. It rejects any message which is not compliant to the BNF. An older, normal RFC-3261 compliant UA sends a call-id which includes the @-sign.

According to the BNF of this updated 3261, and based on the strictness of this aggressive-parsing UAs, it rejects that request as non-compliant.

As such, you need to keep the BNF, but change the normative language such that an endpoint MUST NOT include the [@ host] but MUST be prepared to receive it.
