However, being out there so many phones without such support, it is practically unusable since service providers won't deploy different server solutions for each group of devices, so they stick to one size fits all and that is not DNS for now.
Devices don't implement it, so service providers don't implement it, so devices don't implement it, so... XD
I think the sip server implementations are pretty good here. Besides that, for client interaction it is required only DNS server configuration, nothing in sip server.
What I meant is the headache for sip server providers to deploy two different fault tolerant solution: - one based on DNS - one based on shared/virtual IP or load balancer
Each of them will require maintenance, man power, etc... Anyway, even with second option, good DNS in phones does not harm.

Proper DNS support should be enforced somehow (who knows how?!?) before anything else. At the end, DNS drives the IP world.
IMHO RFC 3263 complexity doesn't help too much.
