So why is gov.nist.javax.sip.header.Contact final if not all the
headers are? Like I said, I'm new to Java so I don't know the
motivations for using final.

Well, we're trying to send a Response.MOVED_TEMPORARILY to Asterix
boxes, and we were told on the Asterix mailing list that Asterix
wouldn't recognize it unless the form of the Contact header
in the response was:
Contact: Transfer <uri>
I tried just using Transfer as the DisplayName, but that produces:
Contact: "Transfer" <uri>
and that doesn't seem to be good enough. Now, I'm not personally
convinced that even getting rid of the quotes is going to fix the
problem with Asterix, but I need to run the experiment. So I was
going to subclass Contact and change the toString so that there
were no quotes around Transfer, and use my custom header in
constructing the response.
