Stepping up a level...

What I am noticing is that the challenges in implementing Call Park are 
different
depending on the context.

In an SME type environement with 12-key phones, the idea of
using digits as the orbit (and having the end user type it to park a call) is
quite appealing.

However, this is a lot less appealing in two scenarios that I can think of:

- When it's not a phone that you are using, but a rich-UI client (say, on 
  a PC for example). In this case, the last thing you want, is the end use
  doing star codes. It just doesn't make any sense.

- In a large service provider network, managing an orbit space seperately from
  the user profile information seems cumbersome.

I completely agree with you that if we can satisfy all those requirements
without requiring complex parsers, it would be much better.
