Actually, there *is* a way of making a Proxy in the path, depending on where 
the Proxy is.  If it's the edge proxy between the UAC and its registrar, have 
it insert itself in the Path header for the Register, and any/all requests 
trying to get to that UA using GRUU/AoR should in theory go through that Proxy.

Yes but it would have failed *anyway*.  That's the point - Session-ID is not 
making it worse.  It's just offering a way to make it better, in certain 
scenarios.  BTW, for networks like 3GPP the set of scenarios it could cover is 
rather large, because basically we're talking about the P-CSCF doing this 
thing, and probably I-BCF's.

And besides, the matching behavior for Session-ID is basically gravy - the meat 
is getting a common identifier across B2BUA's, for troubleshooting and whatever 
other needs we find for such an identifier.

If there's consensus that the matching mechanism is too scary/radical to 
consider, that can be pulled out into a separate draft which uses the 
Session-ID header value defined in this draft.
