One thing I am still not clear if 3261 specifies clearly that the
contact address in the response has to be the same (in literal sense) as
the contact address in the registration request.  Is the public address
corresponding to a private address (in NAT environment) considered
equivalent?

   If the SBC is going to translate the Contact in the request, then it 
   also ought to back translate the Contact in the response.

   It is a bit much to expect UAs to implement workarounds MITM attacks
by 
   SBCs.

Not to mention that such UAs make implementing a working SBE nearly
impossible.  The one good thing about "transparent SBEs" is that their
responsibilities are well-defined.  Satisfying those responsibilities
is difficult, but success and failure are well-defined.

Once the other components start expecting something other than RFC
3261 behavior at their interfaces, how can the SBE implementor even
know what to do?
