SIP needs to provide location information for a number of
useful applications.

SIP Provides a way to authenticate, and provide confidentiality
for SIP messages between two end user devices (UAs).
We propose to place the location object in the SIP message.
We assert that the mechanisms in SIP (the new version recently
approved by the IESG) are sufficient for the purpose.
