When H.225v1 was standardized, the people active in that effort did not
believe it would be required.  For reasons of backward compatibility it can
not be retro-fitted in the obvious place (although it could be added at the
end of the ASN.1 for the particular message).

Really?  It is not at all clear to me how this would work in the called ISDN
terminal.  There is nothing I can see in the progress indicator to say
whether a call is voice or fax.  How is the progress indicator used to
achieve this?
