Christer,

I think this addresses all of my issues!

I have one question on some new text introduced in section 4.1:

    In general, it can be useful for SIP entities to indicate willingness
    to send keep-alives, even if they are not aware of any necessity for
    them to send keep-alives, since the adjacent downstream SIP entity
    might have knowledge about the necessity.  Similarly, it can be
    useful for SIP entities to indicate willingness to receive keep-
    alives, even if they are not aware of any necessity for the adjacent
    upstream SIP entity to send them.

Am I missing something? I don't see any way for an entity to indicate 
willingness to receive keep-alives if the upstream neighbor hasn't 
indicated a willingness to send them.

	Thanks,
	Paul
