Subject: Re: [sipcore] Review request: Dial String syntax for the "tel"
URI Scheme
[with my individual hat on]
Peter,
I find this to be a *terrible* idea!!!
This conflates the notion of a Uniform Resource *Identifier*, with that
of a Uniform Resource *Locator*.
Were such changes made, it would complicate the use of tel: URIs in SIP,
and even of sip: URIs, since sip incorporates the telephone-subscriber
syntax into its own syntax.
For instance, this would confuse URI comparison. Do two URIs that differ
only with regards to these new parameters compare as equal? For some
purposes they should, but for others not.
Also, if you have a URI containing these parameters in your address
book, and share it with me, are those parameters valid for me as well?
(Most likely I should strip them out, and then perhaps add others in
their place.)
In sip we eventually defined RFC 4967 to define a way to specify a dial
string that is distinct from a tel: uri.
If such things are important, I suggest that they belong in a new URI
scheme. (Or some existing one different from tel:)
Thanks,
Paul
P.S. I know there have been other parameters defined for tel: that have
some of the same issues. IMO that was a mistake. Lets not do it again.
