advantage of becoming an open unmatched cancel relay?
Maybe for reliability reasons? If something goes wrong with your proxy
and it looses the state for a transaction, the proxy might just
forward the request statelessly and hope for the best. I know there
are many cases where this would not work (serial forking, etc.) in
real world setups, but I guess we have just been trying to be as
forgiving as possible in such cases.

if proxy
is processing all invites statefully, why anything needs to be
done when invite transaction corresponding the to cancel is missing?
isn't it a case of unmatched cancel and the cancel could just be
dropped?
Well, IMHO it should be forwarded the same as one would forward the
INVITE. Dropping it is quite a hardliner approach :-)
