Well, with REFER sipfrag is typically used to carry only the response 
code. Sending more is optional. If something is to be sent then I think 
this is a good mechanism for doing so. I think the question would be 
whether sending the sipfrag with at least the reason is MUST, SHOULD, or 
MAY.

OTOH, I thought this was removed from the draft because some people 
thought this smacked too much of solving the HERFP problem when it 
didn't really do the job fully. Has anything changed?

	Thanks,
