This just says that a CANCEL must not be sent if there is already a
final response. If a INVITE creates paralell forking in a proxy and
there are N early-dialogs, then the UAC can send a BYE to any of them.

This is speaking about *confirmed* dialogs and BYE sent from the
callee to caller. It has nothing to do with the case I'm describing.

It does not say that a BYE cannot be sent for an early-dialog.



Leo, I'm ***sure*** (and it's not the first time I investigate or
discuss about it) that a UAC can send a BYE to terminate an
early-dialog, just in case there is route-set and remote-target for
such early-dialog (if not, that is not an early-dialog yet). Please
re-check section 15.
