I'm not sure.

Can someone clarify whether the u= field amounts
to a super-cookie or not, and if not, how that
might be the case?

If there's a good answer to the above, I'd support
adoption. If not, not.

Thanks,
S.

PS: This has something in common with RFC7486 which was
a (failed;-() attempt at a similar thing. I don't think
this draft needs to refer to that, but if the authors
weren't aware of it, they might be interested.
