No, if the client has LbyV, the client can do the LoST lookup at call time.

You are suggesting the host go back to the access network when setting up an
emergency call?

I wonder if a course location (enough to route properly) with LbyR embedded
in the LbyV would be better.

The access provider can take the fine grain location, perform a LoST lookup,
give the client only the tuples that LoST returned in the service boundary.
The client can then perform a LoST lookup anytime with that set of tuples.
If the client is fixed no need to contact the access network at emergency
call time.

I worry about too many dependencies at call time.
