I-D ACTION:draft-rosen-iptel-dialstring-00.txt

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.

	Title		: Dialstring parameter for the sip URI
	Author(s)	: B. Rosen
	Filename	: draft-rosen-iptel-dialstring-00.txt
	Pages		: 7
	Date		: 2004-6-3

RFC2806bis explicitly disclaims that tel uris may not represent a
   dial string.  That leaves no way specify a dialstring in a
   standardized way.  Great confusion exists with the SIP URI parameter
   "user=phone", and specifically, if it can represent a dial string.
   This memo creates a new value for the user parameter "dialstring", so
   that one may specify "user=dialstring" to encode a dialstring as a
   SIP URI.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
