I would be less concerned with auto discovery (wasn't that dropped from sipx already?) and more concerned with auto provisioning and firmware management.
It is good to plug in the deice and have it grab a basic config from the server so the admin can find the phone in unconfigured devices, assign a line and send it profiles/reboot, etc. like we can with Polycom. The "auto-discovery" term harkens back to the day when sipx actually could scan network scopes looking for known mac address ranges. I think that was neat but it was really problematic and it dropped off the development map and was removed. I am not sure if auto disocvery (the term) is used the same as I remember it. sipx sees a known mac address range (like 0004f2) and says "polycom" and makes it a manageable unprovisioned device. I think this is a good goal for any UA if the vendors make it possible.
