I don't understand Juha's argument about proxies "knowing things".

If a UA does not register an outbound flow via a certain proxy that
proxy doesn't have to know anything about other proxies, because no call
to/from the UA will ever go through that proxy.

if every proxy knows that every UA always registers with every proxy in
the set, then implementing the proxy set becomes very simple.  if the
proxy set cannot trust that every ob UA registers with every proxy in
the set, then the proxy set needs to implement various complicated
mechanisms to ensure that every proxy in the set is aware of each
registration and is able to reach every UA even when the UA may be
behind NAT.  you will find lots of discussions about the problems on
various practical sip related mailing lists.
