talking about provisioning, this is another PITA with SIP.

Why not providing just ip/domain, username and password? Then the reply 
of 200ok for register can contain the other details, like SIP AoR, 
outbound proxy address, even a new registrar address - first 
registration to be just service discovery (maybe using a different 
method first time). Simple format, keyword=value, if you understand the 
keyword, use the value, otherwise ignore.

Ok, ok, I know the answer, according to RFC you can use the SIP phone 
without a server and call by IP:port, so you have to be able to set your 
own details. Right ... we all use it this way and it is very easy to do 
such dialing with any of the hardware phones today...

Cheers,
Daniel
