Francois,

More below. I have stripped out the comments that have been
satisfactorily dealt with.

[JRE] OK, I can live with that.

[JRE] Ditto.

[JRE] OK, I don't like it, but I suppose you are correct. However, you
didn't respond to the second part of my comment, concerning the need for
a change of language. Thinking about this further, I now see that we are
in fact updating RFC 3608 - correct? If so, then don't we need to state
this up front, and also mention it in the Introduction section where we
mention RFC 3261?

[JRE] The words "It is RECOMMENDED to use an outbound proxy" sound to me
like a recommendation on a UA, i.e., a recommendation that the UA be
configured to use an outbound proxy. Perhaps what we are trying to say
is "It is RECOMMENDED that a proxy be able to behave as an outbound
proxy as per the procedures...", in which case it would indeed belong in
this section.

[JRE] You didn't answer this or make any changes. Do you consider that
no change is necessary?
