Hi,

in case you've read my bug report concerning draft-ietf-sip-gruu-15
from this morning, the short version: draft-ietf-sip-outbound-16 is
affected by the same problem.

The complete version:

draft-ietf-sip-outbound-16 contains (amongst others) these ABNF rules:

| contact-params =/ c-p-reg / c-p-instance
| c-p-instance   =  "+sip.instance" EQUAL
|                   LDQUOT "<" instance-val ">" RDQUOT

which, when adding them to the grammar from RFC 3261, would produce
from <Contact> a language that's a superset of the language that would
be produced by <Contact> from RFC 3261-only.

In particular, the language produced by <foo> is a subset of the
"outbound extended" language, but not of the RFC 3261-only one:

| foo = "m: <sip:[email protected]>;+sip.instance=" DQUOTE "x" DQUOTE SP CRLF

To put it in more practical terms: the <RDQUOT> in <c-p-instance>
allows for trailing <LWS>, which <contact-extension> does not,
so an implementation conforming to draft-ietf-sip-outbound-16 could
produce a Contact header that potentially could not be parsable
(except as an <extension-header>) by an implementation conforming
to RFC 3261.

Thus, I would suggest to replace the rules quoted above by:

| contact-params =/ c-p-reg / c-p-instance
| c-p-instance   =  "+sip.instance" EQUAL
|                   LDQUOT "<" instance-val ">" DQUOTE

This produces the same language, maybe it's a more consistent
replacement:

| contact-params =/ c-p-reg / c-p-instance
| c-p-instance   =  "+sip.instance" EQUAL
|                   DQUOTE "<" instance-val ">" DQUOTE
