Yes, exactly (and there will be other settings as well, to identify the 
type of peer (network, trunk, endpoint) for other reasons).

That's coming too, but in a different way. Actually if your remote peer 
can send you Remote-Party-ID headers now, you can set "trustrpid=yes" in 
your peer definition and the CLID/CNAM will come from that instead of 
the From header, so the From header can contain only authentication 
information.

If the remote peer is Asterisk, it cannot currently send 
Remote-Party-ID, but watch Mantis for a patch in a few days to enable it :-)
