It might be useful, but SIP makes no such distinction. So we've come up three
categories to anonymize:

originator info: caller ID, From address, etc.
network info: origin/route IP addresses, contact URI, etc.
client info: user agent information, capabilities, etc.

The first two are matched to "user" and "headers" in SIP, and the third one can
simply be implemented by the UAC by omitting all revealing information that
falls under this category, since none of it requires intermediate support.
So I vote for the three flags :)

This then sounds more like AssumedIdentity interface than Anonymity :)

For purposes of anonymity, I think it's better to let the CM scramble the ID if
the User flag is set, and have a read-only channel property of type string, to
inform the UI about the apparent ID.
