Registration, but I think that is probably out of scope for what you are
considering!

In the reverse direction, the presence of a to-tag in a request
indicates an in-dialog request.  Therefore, requiring a from-tag ensures
that requests in the reverse direction can have a to-tag, and thus be
correctly treated as in-dialog.
