IMHO inspecting a specific header (Event) when the request is PUBLISH
is not so much effort for a proxy. More below.

The fact is that I agree with you. But note that with REGISTER the
same occurs. It's very common an architecture in which the client is
just provisioned with a domain name, which resolved to its proxy, and
such proxy router the REGISTER to a registrar server (even if the RURI
of the REGISTER just contains the proxy's domain).
