RFC 3261 section 8.1.1 states: "A valid SIP request formulated by a UAC MUST, at a minimum, contain the following header fields: To, From, CSeq, Call-ID, Max-Forwards, and Via; all of these header fields are mandatory in all SIP requests. [...] Even if all these header fields are not strictly needed by entities that support sipsec, I think we should continue to mandate them, even if they contain dummy values. Otherwise it might have unnecessary impact on SIP stacks or might lead to unexpected responses (e.g. 400).
John: You are absolutely right. Miraculously, the authors of the draft acquired selective amnesia with respect to S8.1.1 of rfc3261 when drafting the contents of the CONNECT request ;-) This will be rectified in subsequent revisions with appropriate view towards privacy.
