How about adding a sentence along the lines of what Keith proposed 
during the meeting, which, if I understood correctly, would be 
something like: "Note that this is one framework for placing 
emergency calls.  Other frameworks may exist, and there is no 
guarantee that an entity implementing this framework will be able to 
interoperate with an entity using a different framework."
