I disagree.  In my view, the relationship between the Enterprise with a
IP-PBX, and a SIP Service Provider (SSP) is  a "trunking" relationship.
I view a SIP Registration process as "line" side.  This is consistent
with the text in the introduction of the document: "this document
defines the protocol support, implementation rules, and features
required for a predictable interoperable scenario between SIP-enabled IP
PBXs and SIP-enabled Service Providers."

In Section 12.1.1 - I challenge the notion that the Enterprise SIP Proxy
Server is considered part of the Service Provider's "Trust Domain".
>From what I see in the large number of interconnections we here at
Global Crossing have with Enterprises, most don't trust us, and vice
versa - at least from a SIP perspective.  Enterprises are deploying
Session Border Elements (SBCs, ALGs, etc) before they establish any form
of SIP interconnection to a SSP.

Once again, this is a "line" side feature.  The specification scope
either needs to change to reflect a hosted telephony model, or remove
these as assume they are features/services of the IP PBX.
