Parsing would be a nice to have, but I'd settle for FACILITY not nuking
the callerid entirely. If FACILITY messages are unparsable, shouldn't
they be dropped by *?

(I can ask the PBX provider for documentation of the FACILITY they are
sending, but it seems like a bug to me that a long message causes the
_number_ in a seperate IE to be dropped.)

Thanks.
