IMO it is *undesirable* to require that there be a common point through 
which all the media to/from that end must flow. Its especially 
problematic if the "intelligent" device that would have the capability 
to do this is bandwidth limited - as could be the case with mobile phones.

Maybe this can be tolerated if we can find nothing better. Or maybe it 
can be a fallback approach if something else doesn't work. But I'd hate 
to see defining that as *the* approach without trying to find a way to 
avoid it.

	Thanks,
	Paul

If a UA had to be aware of the aggregation at the far end of the call, along with the aggregation it was participating in on the near end, the logic would be incredibly complicated.
