Both directions will be supported according to the specification and
standard. The information will be accessible from the dialplan using a
dialplan function, but not the pidf+xml itself. If they're doing something
outside of the standard, then it likely wouldn't work. The code is not
written for 911 PSAPs/handlers specifically, it's written for receiving the
information from an endpoint, and for sending it out.
