   Well, for one it could cause existing proxies to Record-Route such
   requests as they would not know the method and would therefore be
   forced to assume it to be dialog creating. So there is some
   overhead, compared to C-D as extension point

IIRC, there's a set of rules that avoid Record-Routing except in the
first request or two of a dialog.  Scott Lawrence once explained them
to me, and I checked them, and they're method-independent (as one
would expect).

   Also, in practice I would expect unknown content-dispositions to interwork 
   better than unknown methods, especially through proxies

Proxies shouldn't care about the method.  SBCs might be more trouble,
but I expect quality SBCs to be method-agnostic too.
