I agree although an exception is allowed for "anonymous" users. This is 
what we currently use for caller ID blocking. My current replace 
function call replaces the entire from address (display name and URI) 
with the anonymous string recommended in RFC3323.

I was just told by a consultant that RPID has been deprecated by the 
IETF. I do not have any more information on this move but if true it 
suggests that this is the wrong approach. Does anyone have any more 
information about this? Does anyone have any additional suggestions?
