[sipX-dev] Multiple-branch requirements


According to the Wiki, a branch always has autonomous PSTN connectivity,
and that an apparent branch without its own PSTN connectivity is not a
branch itself, but a part of another branch.

It seems to me that this is not the requirement we want, because it
relaxes the survivability requirement for service in a (physical) branch
office that has no PSTN connectivity -- it is not required to have its
own proxy/registrar and is not required to survive if connectivity to
its "real" branch is maintained.

This seems a poor idea because broken WAN connections are probably the
most likely failure mode.  Unless it is a fact about the market that
every physical location will have its own PSTN connectivity, we want to
remove the requirement that branches all have PSTN connectivity.
