[OpenSER-Devel] dialog callbacks: mi enhancements

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Dan,

So far it was about displaying information regarding dialogs and 
additional context - no other kind of ops.

I think the main issue is about the "generic" & "low level" support 
offered by dialog module and if the dialog module shold be aware and do 
some something for the modules on top of it.
I find it non-logical to have dialog module displaying info it does not 
keep and it does not understand, data form this upper modules ( the 
dialog context).

As said, neither logical, nor from structural point of view i consider 
the proposed approach suitable.

Regards,
Bogdan
