Has anyone ever really, truly, actually held on to a Wi-SIP call while
moving from the range of one AP to the range of another AP in the same
network?  

Let's say a 'YES' only counts if you had a bona-fide handoff.  In other
words, you began in place 'A' (within range of AP#1 but OUTSIDE the
range of AP#2), AND THEN MOVED to place 'B' (in range of AP#2, but
completely outside the range of AP#1) WITYOUT dropping the call.  

Supposedly it's possible with compliant hardware using 802.11f -
Inter-Access Point Protocol (IAPP), but given how ALL standards ALWAYS
work together PERFECTLY, 100% of the time :-), I'm guessing that it
doesn't work.  Can anyone speak to this from experience?
