   Because it makes sense only for requests that create a dialog. Other
   requests may contain Contacts too (I don't know why, but think
   about MS Messenger) and I wouldn't restrict what can be put in there.

   For example, what should happen if the server receives  a NOTIFY 
   containing a private IP in Contact ? The current config will refuse
   it.
