I'm OK as long as the ABNF includes the AbsoluteURI option and the text
does not say anything specifically about excluding HTTP (or any other
form of URI).

I've attempted to point out previously that the URI doesn't actually
convey anything about whether the geopriv rules are going to be
respected or not. It's actually a geopriv rule that those rules be
respected so it's superfluous, and out of scope, to also require the
statement in a SIP conveyance document.

AbsoluteURI as a generic form, encompasses sip etc. anyway, so it's also
superfluous to include those in the ABNF. However, it's also a harmless
waste of space. If Brian is keen to include them for some reason, and as
long as neither the text nor the ABNF bias the specification toward
those forms in any way, then there are certainly better things to lose
sleep over.

Cheers,
Martin
