Given the wording in draft-fielding-uri-syntax-02.txt:

"Note: A suitable representation for including a literal IPv6
      address as the host part of a URL is desired, but has not yet
      been determined or implemented in practice."

I'm very reluctant to jump in here, given that having a specification
that contradicts the new URL RFC is worse than leaving this open for
now. Based on the RTSP experience, anything that is not an RFC at this
moment cannot make it into the SIP spec for the "proposed" round. This,
for example, precludes any use of the HTTP equivalent of "Require" - we
got badly burned last time (with RTSP) when we assumed that the HTTP
side would be ready in time.
