Hi Billy

In section 2.2 of draft-biggs-sip-replaces-01, you specify that "A unique
call-id may be given to the replacement call.".  This seems unnecessarily
weak and could lead to interoperability problems where an application
assumes the re-use of the Call-ID.

If a unique Call-ID is required, as specified in RFC 2543, then why give the
end-point the option to re-use the existing Call-ID?

I suggest that "A unique call-id MUST be given to the replacement call".

Regards

Jonathan
