I don't seem to have seen much discussion on this, but it's clear to me
that it is nowhere near ready.

* Is the URI type 'pstndata' or 'pstn'? Both are used in the document.

* Why is there a need for a new URI type rather than just having a data:
URI with appropriate contents?

* What are the semantics of <telephone-subscriber> in a URI? The examples
in section 7 leave it completely confusing.

* I believe the 15 character limit may be a North American one - has anyone
checked this specification against ETSI standards? [Don't ask me: I'm not
familiar enough with them.]

* Several parts of the document misspell "available" (including, more than
once, spelling it "unavailable").

* Normative reference required to RFC 4234.

* In 5.1, cnam is not a media type.

* Section 6 paragraph 2: delete the words "in such a way that it may not
pass over that country's national borders". That is just one example of a
restriction and is not worthy of being separated out.

* Section 7: the first two examples cannot be generated from the ABNF.

* The examples use an unregistered enumservice type.

* Do you have permission from the assignee of +1 505 212 1111 to use it in
these documents? [Not a petty comment: see the document's own discussions
of privacy.]

* Section 8 paragraph 1: this is a North-American-centric comment. Such
data is delivered before the first ring. [Plus: "first silent interval" is
an ambiguous term with ringing cadences other than those used in NA.]

* Sections 6 and 9 are inconsistent in their treatment of e164.arpa. In the
former case, should "should not" be "SHOULD NOT"?
