[Sip] response to merged requests

["Ravi Shiroor" <rshiroor@aplion.stpn.soft.net>]

posting this on sip as there were no responses on sip-implementors.

--------->

section 8.2.2.2 in RFC 3261 says that when a UAS receives
merged requests, it should respond to the INVITEs receieved
after the first one (those detected as merged) with 482 (loop detected).

i was wondering why "loop detected" is being being used when
merged requests are receieved? wouldnt it be appropriate to
define a specific 4xx response for merged requests?

can somebody please clarify if there is a valid reason for
using "loop detected" in this scenario?

TIA,
ravi.
