Hello,

I am wondering why it is not mandatory for the UAC to attach an
Expires to a dialog forming INVITE. It would seem useful for at least
a couple of things:

1. Stack can know when to tear down a "dead" transaction which is
stuck in Proceeding state.

2. Downstream proxy can know what the max fork expiration time can be.

It would seem useful to make this a mandatory header for a dialog
forming INVITE and yet it is not. Just wondering why.

Ranga
