Everything you say seems to be the Right Thing to do.  The only oddity
is that some phones have only one MWI indicator (e.g., LG-Nortel 68xx)
even though they have multiple line appearances.  But we handle that
correctly, I think, in that sipXconfig configures the single MWI
indicator to monitor the mailbox that the user specifies.  For phones
like Polycom which have separate MWI indications for each line
appearance, it seems obvious that a shared appearance should show MWI
for the line's mailbox.  (Unless that is suppressed by special
configuration, as you mention.)  I mean, in a boss-secretary situation,
the secretary is monitoring the boss's phone's busy status -- why
wouldn't the secretary monitor the boss's voicemail as well?
