INVITE is quite sufficient for proxies to build state, just not
sufficient for them to destroy state if the endpoints fail to signal the
state change.

I'm not sure that the proposed solution is the best one either. Two
timer mechanisms and two active status determination mechanisms have
been discussed as alternatives -- now we debate, maybe someday we have a
consensus?
