RE: [Iptel] Is trunk group a new namespace?

Cullen,

Agreed - I wasn't suggesting the long road. Just wanted to have a tel uri
similar to sip:invalid@invalid.net. For instance,
"tel:-;phone-context=internal" could be useful to indicate attributes of the
resource w/o having to reveal the number. But wasn't suggesting to modify
3966.

Regards,

Shan Lu
