yes and it'd be revealed. Which sounds quite nice to me.

SIP presently has means to 'prove' the identity of the calling party
sip-identity [1] which supplies a new header (and some hash/ signing). While
it is presently in ID, it is header to RFC editor queue.

Hey.... you sniped off my caveat... 'not really knowing anything
about SIP i'm not very well qualified to say...', pout ;-)

It would be for the SIP WG to draft a binding of 'dix' with sip- identity,
IMHO. At least for the purposes laid out in the above use case.

Yep. Transport bindings should be done in the WG that makes
most sense for that transport. Some WGs have wound down
of course, which would mean doing them in DIX, or spinning
up a new group.
