503 indicates that there's a problem with the server, so that's not a good replacement.

We're sending this when there's a failed call, in most cases because of the outbound channel failure without a proper hangup cause being set in that channel driver (may very well be chan_sip :-))

No, we need something in the 4xx class. I haven't had time to go through and consider all the options in the massive set of RFCs we have to work with, but will try to do that tonight after a Friday night dinner - if no one on the list comes up with the solution before that. 

Isn't that a hacker way of spending Friday night - enjoying the wonderful prose of RFC3261 and companions?
