So I suppose there's no point in waiting for a dotting of i's and crossing of t's...

During the Martini WG meeting in Maastricht, and a debate about mandating SSPs mint GRUUs in GIN, I mentioned that GRUU's weren't as useful as we think they are, and that they have some issues.  I was then told to submit an I-D, which is what this I-D announcement is about.

Below is the link to an I-D discussing some issues with GRUUs discovered in deployments, cases in which using GRUUs may make things worse, and considerations for B2BUAs.

p.s. and yes, the draft name is meant to be humorous
