I think that the real problem is that some devices don't support (or disable support of) the following: 1) interactions with forking proxies, 2) rfc3262, or 3) rfc3311.  I was mainly just attempting to encourage vendors to support these 3 items so that all the non-complaint or not-desirable work-arounds can be deprecated more quickly.  However I doubt that the need for such work-arounds will go away any time soon.
