RE: [Sip] Use of Require header field in connected-identity

["Elwell, John" <john.elwell at siemens.com>]

Dean,

Good idea. I will include the following: "By sending a request with a
changed From header field URI only to targets that have indicated support
for this option, there should be no need to send this option tag in a
Require header field."

Also, following a suggestion from Cullen I will change the tag name to
"from-change".
