As long as it supplies what is needed (correct, anonymous.invalid, incorrect, 
...), the basic answer is that a device can use whatever logic it wants to 
generate the From's sip-uri host.  Even though it might be preferable to have 
more configuration options, the ones mentioned can work for some deployments.

Since the From sip-uri host can be part of the identity, yes the called party 
might want see who is supposedly calling.  

As an fyi, an outbound "proxy" might actually be a B2BUA which changes the From 
header.
