- re:timezone I assume it's difficult for registrar plugin to handle the timezone and DST calculation because that would avoid the regeneration when DST changes. Either way, limitation seems ok for initial implementation


It's not only that it's difficult for registrar: it's next to impossible. I think that in future you'll be able to assign a time zone to a particular user or user group. All time sensitive parameters will be interpreted in the context of that time zone. Only sipXconfig would know relation between a user (and their timezone) and forwarding rule. Registrar would not have this info, and thus it could not recompute the contacts.

(If Ben Franklin suspected what he is getting us into with this DST idea he might have been more tolerant towards some daylight waste.)
