Jonathan
I am seeking to clarify that in the statement from your reply
When a provisional arrives, the interval goes to 4s if
it is not already at 4s.
the number of retransmissions for non-INVITE requests is unaffected
(i.e.remains at 10).

Also, is this mentioned anywhere in the rfc or bis?

The behavior for transmissions of requests at a stateful proxy is the same
as a UAC. For invite, they are retransmitted with an increasing period until
a provisional or final response, at which time they stop. For non-INVITE,
they are retransmitted with an increasing period until 4s, and then
retransmitted at 4s. When a provisional arrives, the interval goes to 4s if
it is not already at 4s. Request retransmissions stop when a final response
arrives.

A stateful proxy re-originates the request.

A forking proxy must be stateful, but a non-forking proxy can also be
stateful.
