RE: Suggested RTT text (was RE: [Simple] RE: [Sipping] RE: text/T 140 andaudio/t140)
Sorry but NO.
MSRP is the protocol definition, not the characteristics of an end device that may implement MSRP, and therefore should be independent of whether the UA is end user terminal, gateway or whatever. Additionally they are totally out of the current scope (abstract in IETF terms because they do not define MSRP).
These words you have just proposed affect all UA and proxy implementations.
If you want these words, put it in a device specification, and not the core MSRP definition.
regards
Keith
