Greger mentioned "..OpenSER is going in the opposite direction of SER by 
introducing all sorts of 'special case' ..." and  just wanted to know 
exactly what is he referring at....there were a lot of adds-on and maybe 
there are some cases we overlooked and should be fixed.

all thinks in life are about compromised. If you completely stick to 
what RFCs say, you most probably and up in replacing 80% of the stuff 
you can do from script with a B2BUA..an this is not something positive :).
But does not means the everything in RFCs can be "compromised"...there 
are requirements you cannot go over..

Thanks and regards,
Bogdan
