Section 4.3.2 states: The Answer-Mode and Priv-Answer-Mode header fields have equivalent functions, except that Priv-Answer-Mode requests a higher level of privilege in granting the answering mode specified by the request. Would it not make sense to have a single header that performs both of these equivalent functions, using a parameter (e.g. 'high' or 'level=high') to distinguish between the two? This might have the following benefits: 1) The document would be smaller. 2) The implementation may be simpler. 3) If the need for more than just two levels of privilege were found in the future then this could be easily extended, rather than following the current pattern of needing another header, e.g. Really-High-Priv-Answer-Mode: 4) 'Priv' might be misinterpreted to mean 'private' rather than 'privilege' by the unfamiliar. > -----Original Message----- > From: The IESG [mailto:iesg-secretary@xxxxxxxx] > Sent: 10 July 2007 22:44 > To: IETF-Announce > Cc: sip@xxxxxxxx > Subject: [Sip] Last Call: draft-ietf-sip-answermode (Requesting > Answering Modes for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)) to Proposed > Standard > > The IESG has received a request from the Session Initiation Protocol > WG > (sip) to consider the following document: > > - 'Requesting Answering Modes for the Session Initiation Protocol > (SIP) ' > <draft-ietf-sip-answermode-04.txt> as a Proposed Standard > > The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits > final comments on this action.
