IMO it is a little fuzzy whether URI parameters are actually part of an 
AOR. When adding or looking up a URI in a location service, it is first 
canonicalized by removing all URI parameters, including the "user" 
parameter. As a result, both

   sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED];user=phone
   sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

will route to the same place. Its not entirely clear to me whether the 
gruu is to be constructed with the canonicalized URI or the original 
one. But there seems to be nothing to prevent you from registering once 
using user=phone, and another time omitting it, or using user=ip. And 
you would get the same location service entry in both cases.

I think the bottom line is that we can't just toss out the term "alias" 
as something that is well defined. I think that A can be an alias for B 
for one purpose, but not be an alias for B for some other purpose.

In this discussion, I think two From-URIs might sometimes be considered 
aliases of one another if they result in the same callerid display to 
the recipient, or if calls to both reach the same destination.

        Thanks,
