Right - REGISTER is no longer shown.

The Call Package is now an official WG item of SIPPING, so this is
moving forward.  Jonathan is editing the document.

Interesting use of Alert-Info.  So the phone would not really ring but
could display an indication that a call was available for pickup?  A
phone picking up would send a 200 OK to the INVITE?  I'll think some
more about this.

To keep the phone simple, must of the call pickup logic can be moved to
the proxy.  However, the problem is how the picking phone signals the
proxy that it wants to pickup.  A HTML soft button could be used,
perhaps.
