Indeed the relevant protocols allow for carrying the former and a way to identify whether the service provider has verified this information or not. The first problem is that the incumbents (or is it device vendors?) do not deliver that information to the users. The second problem is that with the current technology, it is not easy to deliver the custome information to the service provider, in the first place. Hence we have to depend on external means like a web page. But then you knew all that. :-) You are right that caller’s identity and the line ID (commonly, but erroneously called Caller ID) are not fungible.
