Not to the 1.6 branches, but we hope to have something for 1.8.
This is all based on very old discussions that have matured over the years.

Yes. The host=ip is a peer, so first user, then peer, then to a context specified in the [general] section or a context named "default".

No, 1.6.x should work exactly the same as 1.4. The domains are in 1.4 too, and precedes the [general] section as you say. We still have users and peers.

Something like that, yes. Type=trunk will be replacing some usage of type=peer today and have both IP and domain based matching of incoming calls.
