Re: [martini] WGLC comments on draft-ietf-martini-gin

Well - the first question is if we agree that non temp GRUUs are mandatory to implement on the SSP side?  If we don't agree on this we are not going to get far on the temp conversation.

Mandating/coupling argueably goes beyond the scope of the MARTINI requirements. Temp-GRUUs by themselves also aren't necessarily sufficient for full anonymity (e.g. SDP info could be used for correlation) and it hasn't been in the scope of the work to mandate a full solution for anonymity.

It (or the phones it serves) is likely to be designed to use temp-gruu to implement those features, since for it there aren't a lot of alternatives. So if in a particular deployment the SSP registrar doesn't support temp-gruus, what is the pbx/phone to do about those features? I think about all it can do is disable them - eliminating possibility of anonymous calls.

The exact deployment models where we want to use this are the places where many people believe there is a legal requirement to support anonymous calls and implementing this put us into the situation where there are pretty much no alternatives way to do it.
