I have looked into this as well, especially ACD login/logout. 
Unfortunately, the way these are implemented in the phone is via sending 
SIP NOTIFY messages to the server, and that never gets into the 
dialplan, so there's no point at which SipGetHeader could help. If there 
was a way to have incoming NOTIFY messages generate a channel and go 
into a specified context, then it would be possible to react to the message.

The other issue is, Polycom phones don't actually send the information 
in the headers, they send it in XML format in the body of the SIP 
NOTIFY. That's going to be hard to extract in dialplan logic (or 
anywhere else in Asterisk, for that matter).
