Open Issue: Seize Terminology
•Currently, draft says select/seize everywhere but doesn’t fully define what this means.
•
•Proposal:  Use definitions proposed by Francois
•
•Seizing: An appearance can be seized by communicating an
•artificial state of "trying" prior to actually initiating a dialog,
•in order to appear as it was already initiating a dialog.   The appearance
•number is confirmed prior to sending the INVITE.
•
•Selecting(or Not-Seizing): An appearance is merely selected
•(i.e., not seized) if there is no such communication of
•artificial state of "trying" prior to initiating a dialog: i.e., the state is
•communicted when the dialog is actually initiated. The appearance
•number is learned after the INVITE is sent.  This is a UI-only issue.
