>From Section 13.3.1.4 "The INVITE is Accepted"

"Once the response has been constructed, it is passed to the INVITE server 
transaction. Note, however, that the INVITE server transaction will be 
destroyed as soon as it receives this final response and passes it to the 
transport. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically pass the response 
directly to the transport until the ACK arrives. The 2xx response is 
passed to the transport with an interval that starts at T1 seconds and 
doubles for each retransmission until it reaches T2 seconds (T1 and T2 are 
defined in Section 17). Response retransmissions cease when an ACK request 
for the response is received. This is independent of whatever transport 
protocols are used to send the response."

Re: the last sentence.  Why is this behavior independent of the transport 
protocol?  It seems like re-submitting the 2xx to the transport is 
completely meaningless for TCP/TLS transports since the 2xx was guarenteed 
to arrive when it was initially passed to the transaction state machine. 
I'd expect this special case to only be necessary for UDP.

Comments?  Explanations?
