Including the country code in the US, though, is Mostly Harmless,
since 1 is widely used as a dialing prefix. A leading 1 digit flags to
a lot of USA phone systems that the number to follow is ten digits
(rather than a 7-digit local number). Most USAians are therefore
familiar with seeing a phone number written like 1-800-555-1212. +1
800 555 1212 doesn't look overly weird to a USAian, the only thing
that would raise eyebrows is the plus sign.

Where I've mapped USA phone numbers, I've used the country code.
