Re: Last Call: draft-ietf-sip-ipv6-abnf-fix (Essential correction for IPv6 ABNF and URI comparison in RFC3261) to Proposed Standard

I see this is very close to done.
I'm sorry to only be looking at it now.
While I don't see a problem with what is in this,
I do see a logical omission:

This calls out that comparison of the binary forms of the ip address, 
and this fixes a problem with ipv4 as well as ipv6.

A similar problem exists for the port number:
are <sip:foo@bar:1234> and <sip:foo@bar:01234> the same???

ISTM that binary comparison should also be used for port numbers.

But is it worth pulling this back to fix that???

	Thanks,
	Paul
