If what you are saying is that you want to be able to support
multiple simultaneous registrations of the same user at different IP
addresses, that's fine, but I would guess that is probably not the
most common application.
My opinion is that multiple registrations are a feature and they also
handle some change-of-IP-address situations more robustly. I don't
think that there are many real problems which can be solved by single
registration.
Anyhow, in case you think it helps you I'm very happy to find the
piece of information in our documentation for you. Here it is

Not
necessarily. For instance consider UA1 and UA2 are identical UAs on
different DSL lines. They get dynamic IP. The DSLAM reboots. Lines come
back up slowly. If ser gets a valid register request for UA1, it seems
to me it should remove all trace of the old IP address ASAP, as "I am
here" rather implies "I am not there (where there != here)".
How would you like to distinguish a parallel registration from from
reregistration behind a changed IP address?
