[MB] The question Shida raised earlier was why would you need this tag
when you have the "gr" tag in the URI and you have the "rc" tag in the
History-Info entry.  The question to me is to whom does it matter that
it was a GRUU that was mapped to a registered contact.  There is a
gruu use case in the call flows describing this.  [/MB]

[MB] That might help. The reason there are just the two tags was
because those were the ones that came out of the use cases. We
originally had all entries tagged and the pushback was that the other
tags were not necessary (at least for the use cases envisioned). For
example, there was a "noop" for next hop forwarding, a "predetermined"
for things like the Request-URI containing a maddr, strict routing,
etc. and the "rc"s were divided into two categories - normal
registered contacts and registered aliases.   In the end, it was only
the "rc" and "mp" that seemed to be relevant for most applications,
although one could debate that the others might help with debug. [/MB]
