Even so, they seem to only be called from within an IVR menu where the
channel has been answered already, for example from a
Backgroun(enter-a-number) statement.

If you have this ...

[office]
;
include => local
include => national
include => international
;
exten => _20XX,1,NoOp(call for extension ${EXTEN})
exten => _20XX,2,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN},60,r)
exten => _20XX,3,Hangup
;
exten => i,1,NoOp(invalid number/extension dialled)
exten => i,2,Playback(pbx-invalid)
exten => i,3,Hangup
;
; END of this context

while all your SIP clients have context=office assigned to them in sip.conf, ...

then if somebody dials a number that doesn't match anything in the
office context nor in any included context, it will still not go to
the i extension.

It seems this is only meant for IVR menus. So, the bogons context with
the catch all _. extension seems to be the only way to catch the
misdialled numbers.
