I have never heard about that. It is valid syntax according to the ABNF. But 
the URI ABNF does not specify user-parameters, the whole part between sip: and 
@ is the 'user' part.

If you want to define that ; in the 'user' part defines parameters, IMHO the 
only sensible thing to do is put them at the end. Otherwise, what would be the 
meaning? How would you know what part is a username? What makes 'user' a 
username and not 'param2' or 'abc', or even 'param1=hyz'?
