I have just taken a look at Iñaki's latest comment in the proposal: If I
get him right, you could possibly cancel an early dialog by means of
having the tm module cancel the transaction. That would make the task of
keeping track of all existing branches unnecessary and save a lot of work.

So one reasonable approach would be to check how easily one can harness
the tm module to cancel a transaction and send back a specific SIP code
to the UAC.
