The PSTN's assertion of identity using CLID (which is the PSTN's
user-asserted identity) is as valuable as SIP's "From:" (which is 
SIP's user-asserted identity).

The PSTN's assertion of identity using ANI (which is the PSTN's
network-asserted identity) is as valuable as SIP's 
"P-Asserted-Identity:" (which is SIP's network-asserted 
identity).

A PSTN->SIP gateway would not want to, and MUST NOT, attempt to
provide a stronger assertion of identity because the PSTN itself
has very a weak identity model (transitive trust).
