  Probably the only splits where N0X/N1X prefixes *were* used first have been
  213/818, 212/718, 312/708, and 201/908 (unless one considers the change from
  seven-digit to eleven-digit interstate dialing in metropolitan DC a "split").
  NNX adherence seems to be the rule rather than the exception: I believe
  214/903 and 415/510 will be splitting without use of N0X/N1X.

N0X/N1X has been in use in 214 for something around a year now;  my
sister used to have numbers in 214-506 and 214-702 (Irving).  It's
probably easier here than in some other places, since we've had
eleven-digit long-distance as long as I can remember.

The one noticeable change related to the approaching split is that
calling Metro numbers (local to both Dallas (214) and Fort Worth (817))
now requires ten digits from the "other" area code -- Metro prefixes
won't be duplicated in both anymore.
