Hi,

I am not sure how much the text really clarifies.

But, assuming it does, it probably works for pure SIP features, associated with a single dialog. For example, I think the forking capability indicator I suggested fits fine into that.

But, the features in the draft are more complex than that, and may include multiple dialogs etc.

Having said that, if you think there is a better way of solving the use-cases in the draft, I am willing to hear about it.

Regards,

Christer
