This was actually mandated by SIP v1.0, so you have to go further back
than 3261. SIP v1.0 used From and To headers as identifiers for a call.
SIP v2.0 kept this for backwards compatibility, but moved to using
tags as identifiers.

There's a recent RFC that changed this again, but I still don't
think the Proxy is allowed to change From/To headers,
only the UA. This is for caller ID updates. The RFC might
allow proxy changes, but that needs to be checked.
