I don't get that part of your point, but I guess Martin's next message says I need to add a "COMMA" after the ']' but before the ')'. Would this satisfy your issue? >The routing-param certainly can't be "last in the header field >value" except in the degenerate sense, since it must be first and >only in a Geolocation-header. If the routing-param was intended to be first, wouldn't it appear first on this line? > Geolocation-value = ( locationValue [ COMMA locationValue ] ) > / routing-param but it doesn't, so I'm confused. >Below are some specific cases - both valid and invalid.

What we're trying to do here is explicitly give instructions to SIP intermediary implementers to include the routing-allowed parameter if one isn't present, with a default value of =no. >ISTM that in reality its only *required* if the is a locationValue >present, and is otherwise optional. which is how most would read it if ... > If no routing-allowed parameter > is present in a SIP request, a SIP intermediary MAY insert this > value with a RECOMMENDED value of "no" by default. ... weren't present in the document. But, there is no permission to allow SIP intermediaries to add the routing-allowed parameter, which we wanted to cover. >In that case, an intermediary that adds a locationValue not only >MAY, but presumably MUST add a missing routing-param if it adds a >locationValue. We can get there (i.e., allow this) without stating this is a MUST, can't we? >I have never understood why the routing-param is required to be last. maybe it doesn't need to be, but it certainly is easier for monitoring/reading human to find if it is last when looking at a decode. > And as my examples show, its difficult/impossible to enforce this in ABNF. > > Thanks, > Paul
