Aliasing is this interface. The implementation of Aliasing should mangle the
SIP address in the ways you suggest, if appropriate, whenever it is used as a
fallback.

Gabble's implementation of Aliasing has the JID as the final fallback, but it
could equally well use (for instance) just the part before the "@".

IMO, telepathy-sofiasip should strip off "sip:" or "sips:" or "tel:", and any
"?query=misc", from the SIP address when returning it as a fallback alias, so
it would just look like "mikhail at example.com" or "+441223362967" (of course,
ideally for tel: URIs it would also insert some dashes - but the conventional
way to space out phone numbers is country-specific, so it might well be
considered too hard to implement this).

In MSN with Yahoo interop (Butterfly), the handles currently look like
foo at passport.com#1 for MSN users and foo at yahoo.com#42 (or something) for Y!
users, but the fallback alias should be "foo at passport.com" or "foo at yahoo.com"
(I don't know whether this is in fact true).
