What is a "self-made GRUU"?

That's a good point, although I fear that the real effect will be to
free implementors from *fixing their implementations* if something is
incorrect.

At the least, I think that you *must* limit the ability to send 403 to
devices that *are* using GRUUs as their contact.  I can *easily* see an
implementor implementing the "403" part of -bis- and deciding to omit
the "GRUU contact" part.

So you're saying that this list is *complete*?
