I respectfully disagree:  the registrar has control of setting the  
registration refresh under the protocol. UAs might send them more  
frequently. And they might get kicked off for generating excessive  
load on the proxy if they do so needlessly, or in other violation of  
the proxy's policy.

Yes, but nothing keeps the edge proxy from communicating with the  
registrar to help it set up policy.

Note also in the current draft  the registrar sees the "keep=yes" via  
parameter even if the edge proxy doesn't take further action to  
communicate what is happening with keepalive to the registrar.
