Indeed. But the difference is big technically, which the end user does
care about. As of today, there are several SIP directories that are
jockeying for market share, some offering the service for free. For
these guys, offering an automatic NAT traversal mechanism integrated
with the directory is a big plus, as there is a large potential customer
base that uses NAT.
