I agree with Christer (!!!) that the transformation from tel: to sip: 
*is* a change, and if you care about H-I then this ought to be recorded.

(This is not just a superficial change in representation - it is a 
*semantic* change, because different processing rules apply to sip URIs 
that tel URIs.)

There isn't even a guarantee that a proxy will have a suitable way to 
re-represent a tel uri as a sip URI.

So I think this calls for some sort of explanation. I guess its lucky 
that if you do create H-I entries for this, that its the translated 
(sip) URI that gets the parameters added. So its at least *possible* to 
do this.
