I don't understand... the answer to your use cases was in my email that 
I responded with before I posted the wiki page. The answer is the same 
for each. Would you like me to incorporate the use cases into the wiki 
page and describe how they could be done using each approach?

Yes, you can either choose to use the new functionality with the 
limitations or do things exactly like was done with chan_sip.

I think once we have better documentation on how to exactly configure 
things, and what you can do with it it will go a long way to helping 
people but if in the end consensus says that an abstraction layer on top 
which does things magically for you is warranted, then I'm fine with 
that as long as the flexibility remains for those who want it and it 
doesn't end up becoming a users.conf situation.
