I guess the goal is to be able to give "any" (not just device or channel related) to a SIP subscription.
I can see many concepts that could use this: Day/night mode. Flash a light when nagios gets a red alarm. Non phone related presence status. (IM, etc.) I do not think that anyone would want to fake out real channel/device status. The hint table exists, we just need a way to write and read it from the dialplan.

I see Local/ has a devicestate, and I've never heard of a "Feature/" channel type before... :-) So I imagine I could use Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED] to see parking slot state, but nothing for arbitrary channels such as what Lacy is showing.
