RFC 3969 IANA URI Parameter Registry for SIP December 2004
1. Introduction
RFC 3261 [1] allows new SIP URI and SIPS URI parameters, and new
parameter values to be defined. However, RFC 3261 omitted an IANA
registry for them. This document creates such a registry.
RFC 3427 [2] documents the process to extend SIP. This document
updates RFC 3427 by specifying how to define and register new SIP and
SIP URI parameters and their values.
2. Terminology
In this document, the key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED",
"SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY",
