[Sip] Last Call: draft-ietf-sip-answermode (Requesting AnsweringModes for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)) to Proposed Standard

2007-07-11 07:08:29
Section 4.3.2 states:

   The Answer-Mode and Priv-Answer-Mode header fields have equivalent
   functions, except that Priv-Answer-Mode requests a higher level of
   privilege in granting the answering mode specified by the request.

Would it not make sense to have a single header that performs both of
these equivalent functions, using a parameter (e.g. 'high' or
'level=high') to distinguish between the two?

This might have the following benefits:

1) The document would be smaller.
2) The implementation may be simpler.
3) If the need for more than just two levels of privilege were found in
the future then this could be easily extended, rather than following the
current pattern of needing another header, e.g.
Really-High-Priv-Answer-Mode:
4) 'Priv' might be misinterpreted to mean 'private' rather than
'privilege' by the unfamiliar.
