	There is an international standard for the representation of
telephone numbers in foreign countries; I strongly suggest that we stick
to that in favour of devising a different scheme. The standard scheme
uses a "+" to represent the international access code from your particular
country; this is followed by the country code and the actual number.
For example:
	+44 1 246 8091		in London
	+32 2 123 4567		in Brussels
etc.

	In those areas in the US that can dial their own international
calls, the "+" is replaced by 011. 

	I believe this standard is proposed/supported/endorsed or
whatever by the CCITT. Let's stick to it!
