For better or worse (and let's not get into that), there's a lot of H.323 out there and there's going to be much, much more over the coming years. RSIP isn't going to work cleanly with H.323, either (although there are some rather disgusting things you can do in the application about that). We can "should" until the cows come home (Hey! They're home!), but there's a lot of real software out there that is broken by network address translation.
