Yes well they have a habit of being rather parochial in their view of
the world. Everyone makes mistakes, and I guess they might be taking
steps to prevent recurrence. That does not provide an argument to
discredit an established international standard. Obviously you
understand that in the US number 1-202-555-1212 the initial 1 is not the
country code. You would be surprised how many people don't.
