Attending to pending email ... sorry for the delayed response.

I see this is very close to done.
I'm sorry to only be looking at it now.
While I don't see a problem with what is in this,
I do see a logical omission:

This calls out that comparison of the binary forms of the ip address,
and this fixes a problem with ipv4 as well as ipv6.

A similar problem exists for the port number:
are <sip:f...@bar:1234> and <sip:f...@bar:01234> the same???

ISTM that binary comparison should also be used for port numbers.

But is it worth pulling this back to fix that???

Paul: <sip:f...@bar:01234> could also be interpreted as the digits
comprising the port "1234" to be in base 8 (leading 0 signifies
an octal base.)

Writing leading zeroes for IPv4 address is not prevalent; by the
same token, representing ports in octal base is not prevalent either.
So I am inclined to let sleeping dogs lie.

However, if the sponsoring AD or anyone monitoring this list feels
strongly, I don't mind adding a sentence or two to this effect in
the draft.

Thanks,
