Re: [sipcore] Draft new: draft-holmberg-sipcore-proxy-feature [was: Feature-tags in the Path header field]

[Paul Kyzivat <[e-mail]>]

To all sipcore participants:

Christer has been looking for a way to accomplish a particular function 
that 3gpp wants. This proposal seems a plausible way to do that. But it 
is of necessity defining a more general mechanism.

I'd really appreciate comments from others (including people in no way 
involved with 3gpp) regarding this mechanism. For instance, do you 
consider the semantics to be well defined? Do you see need for more 
about security implications?

How many would find this useful to have?

	Thanks,
	Paul
