The RFC does mention this. In table 2, on page 162.

Subject: [Sip] Contact header in 200 OK


Hi all,

I'd like to know if the Contact header is mandatory for a 200 OK
response to an INVITE request. 

The RFC doesnt explicitly mention anything in this regard although a 200
OK is mandatory for a REGISTER request.

If the originating endpoint receives the Contact header in the 180
Ringing response (which I assume is mandatory), then it knows the
location of the remote endpoint, in which case the Contact header would
be redundant in the 200 OK response.

Waiting for some expert intervention.. :) 

Regards,
