I'll just extend that reply to state that much of what Russell asked
about is still in 'unexplored' territory for Asterisk SCF... but those
things will be discussed and worked on shortly after AstriCon as move
into the next phase of development.

As far as session identify information goes, I've been thinking we'd
actually pass around concrete class objects that contain identity
information. This accomplishes a couple of things: they can be extended
by components that want to include locally-defined identity elements,
and there's no need to define 'caller' and 'callee', as those roles can
be inferred by the direction the object is delivered over the relevant
interface (and the direction the session was established in the first
place).
