RE: [Sip] RE: Delivering request-URI and parameters to UAS via proxy

Hum. I guess then P-Called-ID would then be useful with Loose-route
as well (although now I'm thinking that History-Info covers it).

I think explaining all that in great and precise details, with a concrete 
example would be very useful.

And then we could compare P-Target with Loose-route.
