Whoa there partner.

We didn't remove defaults for either port or transport; we merely said
that an explicit value does not equal the default. We still need a
default unless you want to force everyone to include them explicitly in
each request.

Sorry - are you arguing for removal of defaults, or that the default
should never equal the explicit value? That is:

sip:user@224.3.2.2;ttl=1
sip:user@224.3.2.2

would not be equal? I could be convinced to go full court on this
one....
