From a PR standpoint I somehow doubt that Microsoft is going to

Hmmm ... from my memory (backuped by the list archives and news articles
in the Internet) Microsoft created Caller-Id.
Sender-Id is the work of the IETF MARID group and not Microsoft.
It is very funny ro read even in this list and in news articles that
Microsoft created Sender-Id, which is simply wrong. Also in the patent
claims Microsoft talks about Sender-Id as their invention.
Sender-Id is *at best* a derivate work which borrows some ideas of
Caller-Id.
