"SIP User Agent" is the term we intended for a SIP endpoint node.  If
it's a gateway into or from a non-SIP cloud, it's still a "SIP User
Agent" if it originates or terminates SIP calls. 

In the gateway context we do have to be careful to specify "SIP User
Agent" and not just "User Agent" though, because whatever it's
gatewaying into might have it's own concept of what user agent means.
