You seem to be arguing that packages themselves may need to have option tags, rather than the extension itself, which does not answer the question I asked.
What I asked was whether there was a need to have an option tag specifically for the info-package extension. There were no option tags for pre package info behaviour, so there is no information to tell you that if I don't support the new extension that I supported the previous incarnation of INFO. So I do not see how that can be used for fallback. regards Keith > -----Original Message----- > From: Dean Willis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2008 6:24 PM > To: DRAGE, Keith (Keith) > Cc: Christer Holmberg; Elwell, John; Eric Burger; SIP List > Subject: Re: [Sip] INFO Framework: Tags > > > The option tag is used in OPTIONS responses (and in Supported > header fields in other responses) to inform a correspondent > that the node in question supports this extension, > potentially leading to a decision as to which behavior to > apply to future requests. > > It is also used in Require header fields of requests to cause > the request to be rejected by any UAS that does not > understand the extension.
