Thanks, this was important to know because I couldn't seem to verify
this using various SIP devices.

More important than explanations is to know the fact that the two can
in fact be different.
The question now is how can Asterisk's sip implementation be fixed so
that it can construct such REGISTER messages. If this remains
unsupported, providers will actively use it to lock Asterisk out. The
Japanese telecom monopoly NTT already does so as this example shows.
And since most ISPs over here act as satellites for NTT, even if you
change providers, you are likely to end up with NTT again.

given the very limited syntax for the register directlive,
register => <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:userid@domain.com">userid@domain.com</a>
OR
register => <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:userid@domain.com/contactid">userid@domain.com/contactid</a>
I can't really see how to change the From field independently of the
digest username.
but I would be more than happy to learn of any workarounds or patches
that would allow this.
thanks
