May be I am missing the point, but on an identical username registering
in two places, in my application at least, I'd like only the last to

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.
[note I did not suggest that a second registration with the same IP
address should overwrite the previous u/n at that IP address; I meant
the old IP address entry for UA1 should be erased, not that the old
UA entry (UA2)s against the IP should be erased]

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?
