That's a bit, a chicken and egg problem ...

I won't be surprised if Broadsoft and the likes would ask phone vendors to
implement XML-based call history and let server vendors handle call
histories for each subscribed phone ...
That would unleash developpers creativity without tying phone vendors to a
specific server vendor, which they would reluctant to do ...

Using a call by call privacy mechanism seems more difficult to me ...

Maybe phone vendors that get an important revenue share from Asterisk
activities, would agree to develop this XML-call history feature if Asterisk
could "provide" the server-side of it (even if I think most changes needed
to implement this server-side are outside the scope of Asterisk, itself).

I think most SIP phones already implement a very similar mechanism for
directories (phone query an XML-based server to get directory entries before
dialing).
