Well, IMHO the reason is that key '#' appears in all the phones :)
not sure why is not allowed in SIP.
I assume this is due to inheritance from common URI syntax (an username in a
mail URI doesn't allow it also).
That is the reason kamailio (openser) does accept
'#' in the username.
If you want to be strict compliant to SIP-RFC then you have to use the
transformations. Not sure what would be the best to make default for the
future ....
I think it's ok to allow it, but it would be nice if Kamailio would
decode "%23" as "#" directly, without the need of using
transformations. In
this way, if a strict compliant phone encodes "#" as "%23" in the RURI
it
would be automatically detected by Kamailio as a "#" symbol.
Could it be feasible? Regards.
