You jest, I assume? Clutter the thing up with something you may never need?

It wouldn't take a lot to add a couple of contacts to the handset so it
works without using RF when resting on the base station. Although the
question then is what you can power from the line voltage and how you
arrange that, as there might not be enough for all the fancy displays etc.
