If my proxy/PBX routes me a call with "From: alice" I would expect that Alice 
is the originator of the call. If the proxy/PBX allows Bob to spoof the 
request's originator then I've no way to know that it's been a spoofed call.

Under my experience cheking that the From URI matches the credentials username 
is a good idea and avoids spoofed calls.
