Hmm. Can you point me at any documentation for this? [I've been looking at
the data: URI in other contexts.]

That gives me the syntax. But why would I provide one? Why is the caller
name for +1 703 555 0100 tied to a URI mentioning +1 505 212 1111? What is
going on?

Um, aren't you confusing it with the 15 digit limit for numbers (excluding
the international access code)?

Yes, that would seem to be correct.
