Re: questions about usage of tel URI with a SIP UA

Hi, Nils.

Thank you a lot for the comments.

Before I ask new categories of questions on sip-implementors list, may i 
elaborate my question and could you clarify your comments a little more ?

As i know of RFC 3455, the URIs returned in P-Associate-ID header of 
REGISTER 200 response are to be populated as Address-of-Record of the 
registered UA and are to be used in FROM headers of subsequent outward 
requests by the UA.

Let's take these *pseudo* SIP msgs for example:

=> UA 'a' registers itself via its outbound proxy with this REGISTER 
request:

        REGISTER sip:domain
        To: aor_of_a
        From: aor_of_a (or, aor_of_3rd-party)
        Contact: LOCATION_uri_of_a

=> Registrar returns 200:

        200 OK
        To: aor_of_a
        From: aor_of_a (or, aor_of_3rd-party)
        P-Associated-ID: paid1_of_a, paid2_of_a, ...
        (let's assume paid1_of_a='1-408-444-5555')

=> Later, UA 'b' calls UA 'b':

        INVITE tel:+1-408-444-5555
        To: tel:+1-408-444-5555
        From: aor_of_b

My question is: doesn't this INVITE go to IMS core and be resolved to

        INVITE LOCATION_uri_of_a
        To: tel:+1-408-444-5555
        From: aor_of_b

before it can arrive at UA 'a' ????

That is, in my knowledge, once after location is looked up and resolved by a 
SIP proxy, the INVITE Request-URI should no more be a tel uri, am i correct?

Please advise.

Thanks.
