      6.  RFC 2617 [17] requires that a server check that the URI in the
          request line and the URI included in the Authorization header
          field point to the same resource.  In a SIP context, these two
          URIs may refer to different users, due to forwarding at some
          proxy.  Therefore, in SIP, a server MAY check that the
          Request-URI in the Authorization header field value
          corresponds to a user for whom the server is willing to accept
          forwarded or direct requests, but it is not necessarily a
          failure if the two fields are not equivalent.

What I understand from this section is basically that a SIP server
should not require both Request-URI and Authorization "uri" field to
match as in various SIP scenarios both would not match.
