One of the reasons for us being slow with the document was the
dependency on SIP Identity and all the discussions around it during the
past year or so. SIP SAML is dependent on SIP identity, at least it was
up to the current version of the specification. 

Initially, I was hoping that these discussions would come to a
conclusion rather soon. As it turns out this wasn't the case. 

I am currently leaning towards avoiding the dependency with SIP Identity
(by using an independent header) and to ignore the discussions that
happen in SIP identity (SBC issues, E.164 numbers, etc.). 

>3) Does the work NEED to be done at all in the IETF?

Is the question focusing on "should this be done at all" or is the
question "is the IETF the right place for it"?

There are implementations. Unfortunately from different versions of the
draft -- and the draft has changed over time.

Academic exercise: With the current state of deployment almost all SIP
security mechanisms are to some degree academic rather than enjoying
widespread deployment. 

When starting the work I obviously had a different picture of the next
steps of the SIP deployment in mind. I was hoping for a more end-to-end
usage of SIP for things other than voice. The document builds, with
regard to the functionality, on SIP Identity. If nobody wants SIP
Identity then I doubt that they are extremly interested in the advanced
version of SIP Identity.

This document is not more or less academic than the rest of the
documents in the SIP working group. I could list many things -- but I
better try to avoid that. Have already upset the GEOPRIV working group
today. 

If you are, however, asking whether the status of the document is
correct (currently PS) and whether it should probably experimental then
I am not so sure.
