I think most everyone in the SIP Forum knows how the mechanism could work using 
HI.  The question was if we wanted to solve the issue using HI for the 
SIP-Connect profile.  I think the rationale for "no" was the feeling we had on 
whether PBX's would actually support HI anytime soon, or whether in practice we 
would actually be doing something different in deployment to actually make 
calls work.  (though I can't really speak for others - I could be totally wrong 
on that, this was just the sense I got)

Personally, I look at it from a motivation perspective: who has the motivation 
to change to make something work?  In the SIP-Connect case, the Service 
Provider is the one selling the SIP-Trunk service, so to win the deal and 
satisfy customers they've got more of the motivation/burden to make it work.  
The SP's also have a large motivation to support as many IP-PBX vendors as 
possible.  Any changes we mandate of IP-PBX vendors will reduce the pool of 
them that are "SIP-Connect compliant", which is not good.  Especially when what 
we're proposing basically works *now* in SIP-Trunk deployments - i.e., there's 
running code.  It doesn't quite work that way today within the SP's domain on 
the wire, but as I said they have the motivation (and the ability) to change 
their side.
