When using the siputils function  encode_contact() on a message that contains a user parameter e.g.

<sip:XXXXX00015;phone-context=national@10.YYY.1.92;user=phone>;tag=88930

it encodes fine e.g.

<sip:natted_ua*sip:XXXXX00015;phone-context=national**192.168.242.102*5080*udp@10.YYY.70.100>

but decode_contact() errors due to the ";" (there is an explicit check for it in the code)

I am currently working round this using

$rU = $(rU{s.replace,;,:});

to remove the ; as the user part is not needed for my application.

Would it be safe to remove the check for ";" ?
