I think you're partially right, at least for the AOC-E Message. This 
message will come as facility message in the Release or Release_complete 
probably. I'll try to figure that out.

Still if the Disconnect message results in a hangup, the AOC Info which 
is in the Release_complete will be lost.. so what should we do then?  my 
proposed idea a way of out-of-band data transmission, which could fix 
that problem and probably others as well.

Anyway there are ISDN Specs defining Broadcast Facility Messages which 
might happen outside of a call time-scale.
