I'd agree with Steve that are still many deployments which do not use RFC 2833 or RFC 4733. In our gateways, we've had to support interworking variations of tone support such as INFO and in-band, in addition to the RFC 2833 / RFC 4733.

Its true that RFC2833 is widely deployed. Its even true that many 
systems have updated to RFC4733. Sadly, its also true that there are 
still many quirky implementations widely deployed, and a lot of people 
still need to interwork with audio DTMF.
