Re: [sipcore] 4244bis-05: the infamous "rc" param

[Shida Schubert <[e-mail]>]

 I believe Hadriel's suggestion of adding the "rc" tag 
whenever R-URI is changed. 

 I think it might have been overlooking the message as 
I think the 2 former entries you pointed out obviously is a 
contact address, which should have had the "rc" parameters. 

 But again as it currently limits the use only when the address 
is registered via REGISTER, this could easily happen in 
the deployment.
