Re: [cuss] "isdn-uui" versus "isdn-network"

["DRAGE, Keith (Keith)" <[e-mail]>]

I have indicated right at the start of one of the original calls that I would prefer not to make any addition in this area. But putting that aside for the moment.

In the hallway discussion, I tried to get clarification as to what the change should mean, because I have had several inconstent answers to this in the past. This basically falls into two issues:

1)	Whether the change was a note (i.e. normative) or informative. My understanding of Bruno's postion was that it should be normative, which means essentially that all implementations recognise the value when it is received. However conformant implementations only generate the correct value. It appears however other people were not aware that the change was intended to be normative, based on your continued representation of this as a "NOTE".

2)	If the change was normative, then presumably the new value should be IANA registered. It was apparently this that caused people to say that they did not want a normative change (which I guess would lead to the impression that the usage was sanctioned for the future), and subsequently that did not see the point of an informative change.

In response to Christer, when writing the draft, we chose a label that was consistent with the usage it was to be put, which was not to be constrained to interworking with the ISDN, but rather one that provided the equivalent capabilities. We were not aware that we were constrained by examples showing other values in previous drafts; indeed we did not even look at some of those older versions in this respect - at the time this was a new document with a clean field.

Keith
