Re: RE: [Geopriv] Consensus on changes to location-conveyance

Hi all,

I would really appreciate if you guys make a difference between an end 
host adding a location-by-reference and a proxy adding a 
location-by-reference to a SIP message. If the end host adds something 
you can further differentiate whether it is added to the header or the body.

This differentiation is really important and that was the reason why I 
wrote a long mail (and it took some time) to elaborate on the different 
scenarios and the challenges.

In general it does not.

One of the use cases I have been told regarding the 
location-by-reference addition by the SIP proxy is that providers want 
to deal with legacy devices that do not learn location information from 
the network.
