I don't think that is the whole problem (if it was, P-Called-Party-ID
would probably work just fine). To my understanding it is not
necessarily the home proxy of the UAS which rewrites the Request-URI in
the use-cases presented in the drafts. It can be another entity in the
path - an entity which havs no clue about what the UAS supports or not.

Christer
