   (Because otherwise the sender of the REFER couldn't specify "I want
   you to send an INVITE with a Replaces header but without a 'Require:
   replaces' header.  Such an INVITE is clearly legal and its effects are
   well-defined, although not very useful.)

Our company's software did generate such REFERs for a while.  The idea
being that during a call transfer or pick-up sequence, even if the
refer target UA didn't support Replaces, at least the call would come
in "on another line", and the UA user could switch to it.

(The folly of this idea was proved when the refer target was a PSTN
gateway.  The inbound PSTN caller received a call-waiting indication
from the second call, but nothing to indicate that they should switch
to that call to complete the transfer sequence.)
