As indicated within RFC 3261 section 8.1.1, Max-Forwards is mandatory within 
all requests.  However since Registrar and Presence Server act as endnodes, 
there is little reason to reject requests because of a missing Max-Forwards 
(especially since RFC 2543 did not require requests to contain Max-Forwards).  
Similarly section 16.3 does not indicate that proxies should reject a request 
because of a missing Max-Forwards header; section 16.6 indicates that proxies 
MUST add Max-Forwards if not present.
