The reason for this, BTW, is that the primary intended purpose for the new 
"REGISTER" command was to allow a back-end server to register it's *own* 
stream, using the "RTSPServer::registerStream()" method, and to allow the 
receiving client (or proxy server) to reuse the TCP connection on which the 
"REGISTER" command was sent.  If this is done, then you don't need 
RTP/RTCP-over-RTSP-over-HTTP tunneling at all, because you already have a TCP 
connection set up.  You can just to RTP/RTCP-over-RTSP tunneling (over that 
same TCP connection) instead.

The way that you're using the "REGISTER" command - to allow a 3rd party to 
register a back-end stream with a proxy server - is a nice way to use the 
mechanism, but it wasn't my primary purpose for developing it.
