Brett,
        Your response and the section from the draft confirm my previous 
point. With session expires successfully negotiated and with the UAC as 
the refresher (even if it is not) if it sends a refresh, reINVITE | 
UPDATE,  without the Session-Expires from it's point of view it is negotiating the 
expires feature off. What the Proxy 
is capable and willing to do and what the UAS is willing to do is up to 
them.

The distinction is clearly indicated by draft-ietf-sip-session-timer-15.

Section 9 of draft-ietf-sip-session-timer-15 clearly indicates that the 
uas
can still choose to keep the timer functionality active even if the uac 
and
proxies did not include session-expires within the re-INVITE/UPDATE.

"If the incoming request contains a Supported header field with a value
'timer' but does not contain a Session-Expires header, the UAC indicated
support for timers, but did not request one.  The UAS may request a 
session
timer in the 2XX response by including a Session-Expires header field."
