H.323 URL Specification (second try)

[Orit Levin]

Hi Paul, Bob and others!
I am attaching a slightly modified version with changes, that I think, are MUST.
In addition, I have the following reservations:
0. I have a problem with explicitly binding "RAS" with "LRQ". May be, the default should be "SHALL", "RAS" and "LRQ". But "RAS" shall NOT mean "LRQ first".
1. In case only the "user" is specified, I would prefer to always have the "@" sign: "user@". Indeed, it is visually deferent from the simple "user", but
-    It is going to be placed in a different alias type
-    It will make the parsers' logic easier when distinguishing between the cases: "h323-user@; parameters" and  "foreign-url-with-its-own-parameters@"
-    We may not predict today all possible complications. I am not sure, we will always be able to  keep the user part in a clean "escaped" format.
2. Once we go forward with the currently proposed definition, we allow for each url link FOR THE REST OF THE H323-URL LIFE only a single combination of (signaling-protocol, transport-protocol, transport-protocol-port). In order to specify more then one possibility for the START procedures, separate URLs will need to be provided.
Any opinions?

  Orit, Bob, and Others,
   
  Please disregard the previous e-mail.  It contained a slightly out-of-date revision of the text.  I believe the URL proper is the same in both documents, but the surrounding text has changed.
   
  Again, I welcome feedback.
   
  Best Regards,
  Paul
