Re: [sipcore] #2: Editorial: section 2 is really confusing

Oh, excellent point.  In fact, mapping in the freephone sense isn't really the same "kind" as mapping in the call-forwarding sense, and will make it neigh impossible to distinguish at the UAS.  How will a UAS actually be able to tell apart diversions from others? (for example, to interwork to Diversion or to ISDN)

Perhaps what we really need is a specific tag for actual diverting - for the case of changing the identity of the target such that the new identity has no inherent relation to the previous target, for example with a "dv" param; whereas the freephone case the new target is much closer to "mapping" in the common english sense and would use a "mp".  No?
