E.g. there are many users which configure their clients with sip:Name.Surename at domain instead of sip:name.surname at domain (or vice versa).

Just to make it clear -- that's not an RFC3261 bug -- the interop reasoning is you can't
change things you don't "own", what you do about your own stuff nobody cares. You can't
forward a at other.domain to other domain as A at other.domain because you don't know if the
other domain is case-sensitive or not. If you translare klaus.darilion to kd or KD
or whatever localy, you don't conflict with the RFC -- making URIs more "accurate" to
get them to the proper recepient is the key role of a proxy server.
