[Asterisk-Users] New RFC: How to specify a phone number

[Olle E. Johansson]

A new RFC was published today, RFC 3601:

Abstract:
"This memo describes the full set of notations needed to represent a
    text string in a Dial Sequence.  A Dial Sequence is normally composed
    of Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF) elements, plus separators and
    additional "actions" (such as "wait for dialtone", "pause for N
    secs", etc.) which could be needed to successfully establish the
    connection with the target service:  this includes the cases where
    subaddresses or DTMF menu navigation apply."

This RFC is synchronized with many other documents, from ETSI and ITU as well as the IETF standard for
TEL: URL:s.

Any Asterisk-pro' out there that can check if Asterisk conforms to this or
if there's any changes needed? It would make life easier if there was
only one way to specify phone numbers, DMTF and pauses in URL:s and
dial plans - or are there reasons not to follow the IETF RFC?
