Oh yes. It's perfectly legal.

It's also a) NOT SIP forking, b) Lazy, and c) Poorly designed.

Sending multiple requests and hoping and praying that the recipient will
ignore two of them (it will NOT in many cases -- specifically set out by
the RFC -- see MESSAGE) because the tag is different doesn't make it any
less poorly designed just because it's not specifically written that it
can't be done.
