No, we have no plans at this time to go beyond RPID and PAI support. 
Those two appear to cover all the current endpoints that we have been 
able to test with, and many community members have also used with other 
endpoints and had success.

Changing the Contact header seems quite wrong; the display-name in a URI 
in the Contact header is pretty much irrelevant. Changing the From 
header also seems wrong; that should indicate who sent the initial 
INVITE, not who redirected it. I don't think we'd want to merge patches 
that added support for either of those mechanisms.
