It gives DTMF as an _example_ of the kind of information that might be 
carried by INFO. It doesn't give even the remotest amount of technical 
detail about how one might do so.

At the time, there was an ensuing debate about the appropriateness of 
using INFO in this way, in which we developed a consensus that INFO 
really isn't the right tool for the job.

Unfortunately, when the naive answer is also the wrong answer, it seems 
impossible to ever put a decision to bed -- which is why we now hear the 
slow "clack... clack... clack" of the whole working group going up the 
initial slope of the "DTMF in INFO argument" roller coaster for the 
hojillionth time. Hold on tightly; it's not a fun ride...
