That basically works for all scenarios except for one (from what I've 
found):  attended transfers from the SIP phone (Polycom in my scenario).

The issue is that when the phone goes to do the attended transfer, the 
2nd call is not associated at all with the original call, and only when 
the call is bridged does something happen. In my case I was trying to 
track it in the dialplan, essentially for CDRs, but it's popped up again 
with recording permissions.

However there might be a way this can be avoided, but I have not yet 
figured it out. But in terms of internal CDRs it may be possible to 
track it when the bridge happens.

I guess that's another argument for writing of CDRs at bridge time?
