[Dundi] representation

[Ed Guy]

Mark,

Actually, I've been meaning to talk to you about this issue.

I am listing FWD's 700 numbers, but, I'll remove it, *iff* need be.

It's been a number of years since I read the E.164 spec, but
as I recall there are classes of numbers which are not unique.
This may be a national Issue.

Examples of non-unique numbers in the US include the 700 and 800 area
codes:
* 800 numbers are regional (by state/province and country) and
* 700 numbers are carrier specific.
They are e.164 numbers.
(subject to correction by someone that actually has the spec in front of
them.)

A few approaches come to mind for non-unique numbers:
* Don't list them at all,
* provide multiple answers and let the client sort it out,
* pick a region/carrier to support, (e.g. michigan/iaxtel)

Thoughts?

To be clear, you are not advertising +1700 within DUNDi/e164 right?  Since
+1700 is reserved by the NANPA for private networks, it would seem
unreasonable to advertise it within DUNDi/e164 (as convenient as it would
have been).
