First of all I think it is definitely worth trying.

Not being able to correlate dialogs through B2BUA is a big
operational problem. I'm not sure that this will get really
adopted (who knows what today's obfuscators choose to obfuscate
tomorrow...). However in hope for solving this problem, presence of
incentives for adoption and absence  of any known harm it is
definitely worth doing.

Another idea how to accommodate receivers that are silly not
to be liberal is using a fake IP address (popular 0.0.0.0).
While not aesthetic at all, it could accommodate such receivers
(under assumption they assign no syntactical meaning to it)
and signal to B2BUA there is no disclosure of IP addresses.

OTOH it could be time too to abandon 2543 legacy. Supporting
strict routing and other ancient stuff like IP in callid does
not seem worth the trouble to me.
