In a perfect world I could dial "+44 81 676 XXXX" to reach my number
in London from *anywhere* in the world, including the UK (where +
means 010). Similarly it would be nice to be able to dial 011 1 415
XXX XXXX to reach San Francisco from anywhere in the US.

I was originally going to post this with lots of ":-)", but seriously
though folks, why should it be difficult with modern switches?

Just a thought.
