Great!
Make sure you do not delete 1.0 config options, but clearly document
which options *only* work in 1.0 and which are introduced in 1.2.

Yes, it replaces incominglimit/outgoinglimit.
If it kills registrations, it's something wrong and you need to tell me
more about it.

A SNOM specific setting that reads a client code sent by the phone.

There is no such setting in chan_sip. Used to exist in chan_sip2, but
that was a long time ago, several months.

To set the context in the dial plan you use for subscriptions. This is
to limit the scope of subscriptions if you have several user groups
sharing a PBX. You don't want anyone to be able to subscribe to the
status of your phone, or your boss' phone.
