 What you mean is that 3GPP has chosen to go a different direction.  The
 phonebcp procedures would work fine in IMS systems if operators chose to
 implement them.  There is no inherent disconnect.

Phonebcp makes pretty sweeping statements about the way that emergency calls are placed, and makes a large number of statements instructing phone-centric behavior which doesn't work well for cellular phones. There are very small number of statements allowing in some cases for network elements to handle some of the phone-centric tasks.

I'm beginning to think the worst mistake we've made (possibly as an SDO) is to call anything a "phone", which is legacy and has a whole host of baggage attached.

We should just say "UA" (or UAC or UAS) and let the reader figure out what we mean... At least IMS doesn't call their endpoints UAs, choosing UEs instead - hence, eliminating the confusion (if we use different acronyms)
