The main difference compared with RFC 3261 is that the burden of
connection management - UDP, TCP or STCP - is put on the UA.
The proxy reuse the connection created by the UA for outbound
requests, but does NOT open new connections.

The specification also adds the ability, but not the requirement,
to handle multiple connections (flows) from the same UA to different proxys 
as failover connections. This will indeed make TCP failover faster and propably
SHOULD be a requirement for TCP/TLS. Previously it was impossible to 
recognize that multiple registrations was from the same UA, so the proxy
had to fork to all of them and just hope that the UA had some merged fork
detection.

I think both of these solutions are huge improvements.
