Yes, but the fact is that many proxies implement this behaviour (same as the 
suggested in the draft) in some propietary/custom way.
For example, what about OpenSer?
In case the timer expires and OpenSer doesn't generate a CANCEL, will OpenSer 
forward stateless a future reply?
Also, since OpenSer generated the "408 timeout", in the case the later 200 OK 
arrives to the caller it will be discarted, so...

Best regards.
