Summary:                    Some characters (such as #) are not escaped in SIP
headers
Description: 
Had a conversation with OEJ yesterday about the '#' character not getting
converted in all areas of the SIP headers to a %23. Here are some comments
from our conversation:

RFC 2396 says:

"The character "#" is excluded because it is used to delimit a URI from a
fragment identifier in URI references (Section 4)."

The SIP RFC says:

"Excluded US-ASCII characters (RFC 2396 [5]), such as space and control
characters and characters used as URI delimiters, also MUST be escaped."

Okay, this sounds like a pedantic issue... have you found a device with
which Asterisk fails to interoperate because of this issue?
