[JRE] Agreed. When it receives an INVITE request when the user is "busy", it can either perform call waiting locally or simply reject as busy (486). Knowledge that ACH is performed at the proxy may influence which of these options to take, but it is a UAS decision.

[JRE] We already have two degrees - local and global. Introducing a third degree would seem to make it too complicated.
