Is that still the case? Anyway, there could be multiple number types to choose from such as: telephone-us-basic : (555) 555-5555 telephone-us-extention : (555) 555-5555 ext 1234 Other locals (EU, etc) could create their own to their local specifications. This would seem like a nice contrib package.
