Another problem might be alternate entry points in the dialplan.  For example,
spool files and the manager Originate command can both set up calls at a
context, extension, and priority of their own choosing, rather than going
through all steps of your dialplan (as external calls would).  Also, SIP calls
can setup to any extension in your entry context, including non-numeric
extensions.  So you can't depend upon that, either.
