Well, personally, I might. I think that MESSAGE could well have been an
INFO usage. Instead, we developed a protocol extension that confused
what was happening  at the SIP level (transport) with an application
function (Presenting data to the user). It was bad design.

Once all the proxies that don't have to be there for something like NAT
traversal have dropped out, the only intermediaries being loaded are the
ones that need to be loaded in order to make the communication work at
all. When one brings in the performance gains of SIPSEC (proxies no
longer parse, decrypt, or encrypt messages once a CONNECT completes),
it's actually a pretty efficient approach.
