The as-yet-undocumented Globally Unique Call Control Identifier, or  
"GUCCI" . . . It's just like the Call-ID, but SBC's don't change it  
(yet) because they don't about it (yet). Of course, that will change  
once the RFC is published and some crazed operator beats their SBC  
vendor into implementing a GUCCI updating algorithm. I predict that  
this "feature" will be managed under the codename "Paris spring  
fashion show", but that's not important right now.

What IS important is that we understand that no such feature can be  
made to work with an SBC that is actively disrupting it. We already  
wrote specs that said "Don't do this", and they did it anyhow, so why  
should we expect them to cooperate the next time? Rational or not,  
there are reasons for most of this behavior.
