And I agree with your key point then if this is what you were trying to
draw out earlier to me.

Noted.

Yes, INFO is different in that respect from NOTIFY. You don't expect a
NOTIFY for something you never explicitly sent a request for that scoped
it to an event package...except REFER. But the semantics of REFER are
such that it's implied.

I think the key point being made on the other side is that there's
nothing special about an event package. It is an identifier that
disambiguates the NOTIFY. In some cases other header values could serve
the same purpose (i.e. content-type w/ DTMF).
