Which is a better approach to take:

1: Make the CUA guess at what UPNs a
CS will allow it to assume and risk getting the session terminated or generating
extra network traffic, etc OR

2: Allow the CUA to get the list of
allowed UPNs from the CS so that a single command can be issued (if allowed)
w/o fear of seemingly arbitrary rejection

I think #2 is the better approach for
a new protocol.  What about everyone else?
