I'm not sure I get your point. 
I don't believe we intended this proxy stuff to apply to call waiting.

The point of the draft is not for the proxy to decide that you
are busy.

It's for the UAS to indicate to the proxy that it's busy.

Then it describes the subtleties of what busy means (600 vs
486, one branch vs all branches, can it go to voicemail, etc.).

Basically, it means the user declares to be busy.

I think doing this on a per call basis could be quite error-prone
and complicated. 

And it would require new protocol.

The reason the "degrees" are set on the proxy side in this draft
is exactly to avoid those problems.
