[Users] AVPops question

Hi Bogdan,

> why do you need a variable key name?

To generate and store a time- and call-id- (and maybe
tag)-dependent string at first time when a proxy sees 
a specific call-id.  And to be able to retrieve this 
string at later time (possibly from other proxies when
they process messages having this call-id).
Background: add/remove information/headers in the 
core network that must not be visible to the UA.

Two problems that I see:
1. This stores the attribute on a per-contact base. 
   In the case of an UA having several concurrent calls
   (imho) I can track at most one call.
2. Other proxies can not access this info (as it could
   if the call-id-related stuff was written to a DBS
   with the call-id as name/key)

The main requirement is thus firstly to have database-
stored AVPs on a per-call base. And, secondly, to be able 
to retrieve the AVP values from the DBS when processing 
the content of any message belonging to this call, even 
by a component that did not generate this AVP.
