huh, i'm not asking anything beyond what is in rfc3261 and what is
currently working fine in practise.  or can you point to text in rfc3261
that prohibits a single UA registering several contacts for a single
AoR and that prohibits a proxy parallel forking to those contacts when
the contacts share the same q value?

i didn't know that normal rfc3261 compliant behavior is outside of scope
of outbound.  was it listed in outbound requirements that outbound
should obsolete forking that has been there from the very beginning and
that many applications rely on?  could you quote the requirements text
on that?

also, what wrong or undesirable there is in the forking example that i
have described in earlier messages?

outbound should not change current rfc3261 compliant forking behavior.
it has to support it and if more text is needed, then it is outbound
editors' problem.  forking is much more important than outbound
especially when many UAs have already implemented things like keepalives
without outbound.
