So assume the UAC does not support "tel" and the UAS's domain is not  
going to pay to send the call to the PSTN -- the redirecting node ends  
up doing what it would do now, which is assume that tel isn't  
supported, and make its best SIP guess at a SIP rewrite in the UAC's  
domain.

Proxies that recurse on 302 responses should be taken out and burned  
anyhow. It's just a tragically stupid thing to do in most cases. In  
the scenarios we're talking about, which probably involve a transition  
from a "no charge" IP call to a potentially very expensive (like, up  
to $25 a minute for some premium services) PSTN call, the user REALLY  
needs to be able to make a decision.

So the limitation you've noted doesn't bother me at all.
