Where do you imagine this new state would be stored?
And who/what would use it?

Are you proposing a "database" that is shared by the various UAs for an
AOR, that they would each update and retrieve from?

Would the sending of the answer still depend on a UA receiving the
message? Or do you expect that the answer will be sent even if there is
no UA registered?

IMO this doesn't fit well with the simple model.
