Hadriel, Without commenting on specifics, I agree with the general principle, that there are lots of common sources of interop problems, and anything we could do to try to reduce these problems would be good. Each one of the topics requires a lot of discussion to determine what we want to do. However, what are your expectations? For example, do you want to develop the present draft to the extent of providing a single BCP covering these and perhaps other problem areas that we might identify? Or do you want to see these addressed during the revving of RFC 3261 etc.? Or does each topic need to be dealt with separately?
