The VPIM V2R2 spec (and all earlier versions) imply that addressed
containing a numbered subaddress should be written in the form
+19727332722+1 where the submailbox may be up to four digits, 1-9999. What
has become clear is that some vendors (and service providers) have indicated
submailbox #1 as +01, where others have submailbox #1 as +1.
I would like to ask if it is reasonable to make an explicit rquirement,
maybe in the VPIM Addressing document that +1, +01, +001, and +0001 are
treated as the same submailbox, that is, the submailbox identifier is
treated as a number rather than a string. In the absence of such a
requirement, I'd like to see clarification that +01 is not a valid form for
numeric addressing and that numeric submailboxes should have no leading
zeros.
Comments?
