Hiya, I don't claim to fully understand the usage of this ID, but I'm quite sure that I have no clue what this text is supposed to mean (as a piece of specification): "In particular, the "sip.instance" media feature tag containing the 3GPP2 MEID URN MUST NOT be included in requests or responses intended to convey any level of anonymity, as this could violate the users privacy." I guess this is either an existing problem with whatever a "'sip.instance' media feature tag" really is or else this draft creates a new problem, but the quoted text seems to me to be non-deterministic impossible-to-program-for words seemingly about (but not actually helping with) privacy. Am I confused? Cheers, S.
