OK.  According to the SIP draft, section 4.2.6,
it is reasonable behavior for a SIP user agent
to redirect an invitation in progress upon
a changed registration.  So, it is already
possible to use a normal register request for
call pickup.

In the same section, it mentions that the
registrar may use an expire time shorter than
the one in the request.  So, on a SIP user
agent, the registration can expire immediately
after the ringing call is redirected.  In
fact, it could be the default behavior.

It is part of the SIP draft, so the overloading
of REGISTER is already there.
