While this generally is true, I don't think this is accurate for this
particular scenario. I don't think I would need to restate what lack
of matching Contact header in REGISTER's 200/OK means, as I assume
you're aware of that.

But on the other hand, I also saw how other registrar (a commercial
one) fails to obey this basic rule, so a little more robustness will
not hurt, I think.

So I'm willing to work on a workaround. If you have a patch against
trunk, and your patch is protected by configuration macro (something
like PJSIP_HANDLE_BROKEN_REGISTRAR) which by default is disabled, I
think I would be happy to accept your patch.
