Hi Alex,

You just transformed Zap into a Softphone!  I would have preferred a
solution based on auto-completion, because I do not want people to think
that this is a softphone and hence expect to contact the emergency
services when entering 911 (yes things are that bad on this side of the
Atlantic, thanks to the FCC).

With auto-completion, we do not have to enter the (at) and the domain but
as it is automatically added as the person enter, it is clearly visible
that it is a SIP URI and not a phone number (and I suggest to keep the
tel URI in an extension, for the same reason).  And if somebody removes
the domain, then the entry should be displayed as invalid.

Thanks.

I agree it would be nice to have something like Firefox's AwesomeBar,  
but in my mind what we are doing here *is* autocompletion. Granted,  
Zap doesn't autocomplete-while-you-type, but as soon as you hit enter  
you are presented with a call form that shows the full SIP address  
with "sip:" prefix and domain part inserted. In all other places apart  
from the address bar, like e.g. in the call logs, the call will appear  
with the full SIP address.

Clearly not having to type the full domain is useful, so maybe we can  
live with a compromise until we get to implementing a fully in-situ  
autocompleting bar (which I really only want to do after rethinking  
some of the multi-identity stuff):

When the user enters an incomplete address and hits 'enter', we  
autocomplete after the fact just like we do now, but then we update  
the address bar with the complete SIP address, too. In fact this is  
also the behaviour of Firefox when you just enter a word in the  
AwesomeBar (it autocompletes retrospectively to various things: a  
domain, a google search, etc; not sure what exactly the logic is).

What do you think?

Ok, noted. (We don't do tel URIs yet)

Right, so the way it works at the moment is that the "Remote party  
field" in the call form isn't editable at all, so it will always  
contain a valid SIP address.

Alex
