I understand that if the user entered a sips URI then it should be the

whether to use sip or sips in the first place, and the UA decides to
try sips first then I see no problem in the UA having a policy that
causes it to downgrade.
I was under the impression (based on meeting discussion) that :
1 - the downgrade was undesirable because it reveals (possibly)
information about the targeted party in the clear, and;
Its only undesirable if the UAC had any expectation that the information
would not be revealed. I repeat that this is largely a function of the
UI and contract between the UI and the user. I don't think we can or
should make assumptions about that that is.
2 - The 480 with a Warning header was an option to provide
automata-friendly indication of the failure reason.
I don't have strong feelings about what the response is, so long as the
particular case is distinguishable in some way.
Thanks,
