Well, that's not entirely true. Outbound requires significant server-side support.
I just don't see it as adding much to NAT traversal, which works just fine without it.
Outbound's value is really in solving a redundancy problem (through really Byzantine
and bureaucratic means).

On a second thought, SIP Outbound is client-side

Hi Alex,
Very thorough write up, as always. If only this article was available
some
time ago when I was putting up an edge proxy,
would have saved me
weeks of
frustration in figuring out all these NAT-related
aspects and RFC
readings
(although such an exercise helps understand the
problem to its core).
What you may consider adding to your article is the option of the yet
not
so popular, but in my opinion the "future of
NAT-traveral" practice
in IPv4
networks, which is the SIP Outbound mechanism.
Best regards,
