Since INFO is mid-dialog, the endpoints can signal what they support. It does 
not need to be known a priori

Saying, "OK for interworking" does not really say anything.  If I come up
with a really broken method for interworking, saying that it is for
interworking does not make it correct.

The problem is, how do the endpoints know they will be able to communicate?
For the ISUP/Q.sig/DPNSS/mumble case, the endpoints know they will be able
to interoperate because they know a'priori: they are configured to work.
However, this means that the devices must be in the same administrative
domain and configured properly.

Said in a different manner, INFO works fine for non-inter-network use.  It
would be hard for the IETF to say, "Here is a non-IETF use.  We will not use
it.  You cannot use it with anyone else.  You cannot use it between
manufacturers, unless you get them to agree to this use."  That is a bit
more of what we call the toxic waste warning that accompanies 3GPP
specifications...
