The US countrycode is 1, so it has a prefix of the countrycode just like
every other country has.  There is no need to add 011 which would
actually be the wrong thing to do becuase outside of NANPA 011 may not
be used for international dialing.  Adding 011 to everything that isnt
in NANPA would make it inconsistent becuase anyone outside of north
america will have an issue with the list.  The way it is its consistent
and leaves international dialing prefixes upto the end user.

As for the parantheses I am aware of that although I havent had time to
deal with it yet.  I also have a bunch of other updates to add to the
list.

That is a potential problem because not every number is geographic,
non-grographic numbers (toll frees, premium, mobiles, etc) in many
countries dont have a city, state/province associated to it.  Tollfrees
and premium in north america dont even though their mobiles do.
