Re: Stupid question on flow use in outbound

I guess it is (for good or bad) left-to-the-implementation.

HOWEVER, one thing which has been discussed, and which I think we SHOULD
say something about, is whether it's allowed to use a different set of
user capabilities for each flow.

Personally I think it would be useful. For example, I could indicate
that I want to receive incoming video calls over my super-fast-broadband
access, instead of my slow jungle-drum access.

I don't think we would need very much text for this either. Maybe a note
saying something like:

"NOTE: A user MAY register different set of user capabilities (using the
mechanism in [ref-to-RFC3840] on each flow, if the user wishes the
registrar to choose a particular flow based on caller preferences
[ref-to-RFC3841]."

...or something like that.

Christer
