Hi Marius, the above text just means that, in case of sending an
OPTIONS in-dialog within an INVITE dialog, and  not receiving a
correct response for such OPTIONS (i.e: 500. 503, 481, 408...) the
failure of the OPTIONS transaction should not trigger the termination
of the INVITE dialog bu the UAC.

Do you mean a 200 OK for a OPTIONS with To-tag non belonging to an
existing dialog? In that case it's much better to reply 481 as you say
above.
