No mystery, just a question of whether masking your UA in the SDP will have
a net positive effect. The guys who've chimed in on this thread are
battle-hardened veterans of the VoIP business. If they felt that messing
with the SDP could reasonably give you a competitive edge then they'd tell
you how to do it. You are not at all the first person to ask about this.
People tried this years ago in Asterisk, and AFAICT the ROI was near zero or
worse - things stopped working and people had to waste time/money/energy
chasing down SIP interop issues.

That all being said, no one here will try to stop you from trying. Just be
prepared to go it alone because most of the experts here really aren't
interested in helping people do things that could have such a potentially
negative impact on their systems.
