The compact form is defined only for some common headers like From, To, Via, 
Content-Encoding, Content-length and Content-type. Since these headers are kind 
of mandatory and if message size becomes an issue, their compact forms could be 
used.

But defining compact forms for all the headers does not make sense because many 
of them are not used always and most of them are use case specific.

Subject: [Sip-implementors] Will header short form always consist in asingle 
letter?

Hi, some headers allow short form:

  From = f
  To = t
  Via = v
  ...

To detect those cases I match header names of one letter length, but will it be 
valid for the future?

I mean: is it possible that in the future it appears a header with a short form 
of 2 letters? like:

  New-Header-Name = nh

?


Thanks a lot.
