The following excerpt from the USSR notes sent recently to this Digest
is repeated below, with bracketed remarks from me.  Is this also some
sort of number-length standardization?

>3) If an asterisk appears immediately after city name it means that,
>for 5 or 6 digit numbers you should add '2' or '22', respectively,
>before the number, i.e. 12345 -> 2212345 or 123456 -> 2123456.

[ apparently "'22' or '2'" was intended ]

>If there is NO asterisk you should put '0' or '00'
>i.e. 12345 -> 0012345 or 123456 -> 0123456

[ apparently "'00' or '0'" was intended ]
