OK, I understand the problem right now.  The problem is that this is a
special kind of "Join" operation.  It is kind of a join, but not
quite.

The operation we are after is perhaps similar to 3.3.8 Far-Fork in RFC 5850:

I suspect instead of Join, we need a new primitive, lets call it
Splice or Merge which requests the UAS to add the media in the INVITE
into the dialog that is referenced.
