  Yes, it's meant to be specific to the conference only.  We would like
to demonstrate the SIP.edu initiative where email: and sip: use the
same address.  So, 
email:
 gets to my inbox and
sip:
 rings my phone.  For most people this will
be a new experience.

  The subject hasn't come up.  I vote for authentication.  We could give
it to attendees when they register.  Or email it to them.  A good
question.
