Oh I'm well aware of that. :) I assumed this whole discussion was theoretical. In *practice* using sips is tough. Some systems don't support it and will choke on the scheme, while some systems seem to ignore the extra "s". And there are real problems with it even if you do everything by the book. For example, it's not like Alice's UA will actually have a TLS cert to be able to be a TLS server/listen-socket, so you can't open a TLS connection to her UA regardless, ever. And with TCP in general you have to treat her Registered Contact connection as an outbound-style flow (ie, like an alias'ed connection-reuse), even if the UAC doesn't indicate RFC 5626 nor 5923. Once you do that, using "sip" instead of "sips" contact works, or has so far for us. YMMV.
