you are right.

I don't necessarily agree. FIFO is a way for applications without SIP
stack to access SER/SIP internals. I don't think that building in 
a communication stack in management applications, especially of RFC3261 
complexity, has a good ratio effort/outcome. Registration restrictions
can be handled by the application.
