Here's the good news. Sine there are very few (aka none)  
implementations of RFC 4474 in the field now, we might be able to  
argue that by providing a way to properly handle PSTN numbers at  
gateways BEFORE we get deployment lets us work around the problem.

As for numeric user IDs, there's no technical reason that  "sip:[EMAIL 
PROTECTED] 
;" can't REGISTER and authenticate as the authorized user at  
"example.com". So, pure IP endpoints can authenticate using Identity.  
It;s the behavior of the PSTN gateways that induces the problem.
