Hi,

Just quickly going through the new draft revision, I did not find any
difference between Redirect-Host-Usage (RFC3588) and the new
Redirect-Realm-Usage being defined. I am just wondering if the content
is the same, if we cannot just re-use the Redirect-Host-Usage AVP?
Please let me know (and pardon me) if I did miss a subtle difference :)

My 2 cents,
Sebastien.
