I agree with you on what the spec says, but at the time of implementation, ZERO clients available to Koha developers actually behaved that way, including the reference implementation from 3M. At this time, the number of such clients available to us is still zero. We would need more information about the clients in question: I'm talking from the experience of supporting a number of clients (including 3M) on sockets connections. As to telnet, I've only used that to debug connections, in practical terms it seems approprate only for

When do you imagine it would be appropriate for a SIP client to send, for example, a BELL character or BACKSPACE character? I don't but the robustness principle appliers, 'be liberal in what you accept, be conservative in what you transmit'
You could still run a middle layer on localhost. But if it can be handled cleanly via SIPconfig, I would support that.
