The actual protocol realization may be more challenging. In the SIXPAC "model" presence information is exchanged via XMPP. So, if a SIXPAC client knows an XMPP address, it can conveniently use presence to learn about the corresponding SIP address (using the envisioned presence data extensions). But if the SIXPAC client knows a SIP address to start with, what would be preferred way for learning the corresponding XMPP address? Would SIP OPTIONS be a good approach? That's the only realistically deployable method that I can think of. Can we assume OPTIONS would work at least to a reasonable extent between SIP UAs in current SIP deployments? (On paper it does, but unfortunately we always need to ask this question due to the deployment realities...)
