use it for localy processed requests which you would like to 
process statefuly. That's particuarly meaningful if you wish
to avoid repeated execution on retransmission either because 
the request processing logic is to heavy or for other reasons.

I personaly don't think that REGISTER should use transaction
state. Note that RFC3261 suggests stateful processing.
