SIP has a Request-URI value, a To: and a Route:
header value. Leaving aside the idea that
intermediary servers are valid Location
Recipients, if none of these SIP values identify
the intended (destination) recipient, then
who/what is the SIP message (carrying location) intended for?

The PIDF-LO has no element or attribute
indicating the intended recipient - therefore,
saying a doc fails to expand on, explain or
describe something it perhaps should isn't a good
reason for not answering my query now - in a different WG..

You remind me of a girlfriend saying "if you
don't know what you did wrong, then I'm not going to tell you now!" geez...

That attitude only guarantees you will never get
what you want in the doc, which is sad - given that it isn't an RFC yet.

For the record, in SIP:
- Alice can tell Bob her location;
- Alice can tell any intermediary between her and Bob her location;
- Alice can deny any intermediary between her and
Bob from learning her location;
- Alice can even tell Bob about Carol's location,
if Alice knows Carol's location *and* Carol's
retransmission-allowed was set to yes when Alice received it.

Each of the above scenarios are independent of
the PIDF-LO or location URI conveyance choice.

What SIP *cannot* do is have Alice instruct Bob
to tell Carol about Alice's location -- with or
without Alice's retransmission-allowed set to yes or no.
