Wouldn't you want to keep the dialed number, to use in CDR records, etc?

I.e. a call comes in from a PRI, they have dialed some number <DNID>. It 
goes through your dialplan, tries ringing a bunch of things, ends up 
being forwarded out through a trunk to the PSTN again or something, to 
<CNID>.

I imagine that people would want CDR records which have CLID (calling 
line id), DNID (dialed number id), and CNID (connected number id).
