OK, I'm starting to remember now.
>From a theoretical point of view, I would argue that any change which
allows Resip to send invalid URIs should be avoided at all costs. But
we may be stuck having to deal with this as a compatibility issue. It's
not clear that it's worth expending energy to make such horrible hacks
*efficient*.
As a meta-issue, remember that when you post code, your readers may not
remember why the code was written, and you would probably get better
responses if you remind them.
Sorry for being cranky today,
