RE: [Sip] Subscribe/Notify and Refer/Notify

[Robert Sparks <rsparks@dynamicsoft.com>]

Actually, there was a great deal of effort to _ensure_ that
3265 and 3261 were compatible - I remember several coordinated
rewrite sessions to make sure they said the same things. 

Having participated in the creation of both documents (having
long arguments with the other active participants over the 
intricacies of nested dialogs and when dialog life-cycles), and
having implemented systems that deal with all of them, I have to
say that I _strongly_ disagree with your statement that 3265 is wrong
and should be abandoned. 

I _will_ agree that the edge cases created by the consensus on how
to deal with the differences between and INVITE transaction and a
non-INVITE transaction can be more clearly documented. Everyone can help
with that - all that's required is understanding the problem and
providing text.

As far as I can tell, the behavior that's giving you the most
trouble right now is with establishing dialogs based on a NOTIFY
that arrives before a SUBSCRIBE transaction completes. The parallels
to look for in the INVITE mechanics are with early dialogs. Think
of SUB->200->NOT like INV->18x->200. If a 18x gets misordered and
is delivered after a 200, it's not going to affect any dialog state.
