Well the debate is about the implication on amount of state in proxy servers.
If, using transaction state, a server keeps sending stuff to a location which
is unregistered in the meantime, that's not ideal either, is it.

My point is not denying existence of location changes, my point is that I don't
see how being trasaction-stateful makes life with it better (from which I conlude
that stateless proxy servers are perfectly legitimate, if not "just useful").
