[Dime] Relationship between application Id in the message header vs. Auth-Application-Id in the body



It seems to me section 1.3 of RFC 4005 provides a clue to why application Ids appear both in the header and in an AVP in the body. The application Id in the header is intended for routing, no question about that. But could the one in the body indicate the specification from which the command is imported? That would suggest that section 3 of RFC 3588 should be changed to allow the header application Id to differ from the one in the body.

Harking back to my conversation with Tolga, this would fit nicely with the "second approach", which properly reuses commands rather than creating vendor-defined variants.

BTW I just reread the part that says there are only two command codes available for experimental use.
