.tel comments

[Mark Healey <Mark.Healey@xxxxxxxx>]

The comments made by Larry Boston on this proposal are detailed and I agree
with them.

My main worry is the clash with the e164.arpa registry.
Spot the difference:
4.3.2.1.2.3.3.2.1.2.1.tel               (from the proposal)
4.3.2.1.2.3.3.2.1.2.1.e164.arpa (equivalent e164.arpa entry)

If someone proposed a .ptr registry that duplicated the whole of the
numberspace, run by one company, and sold registrations under this on the
pretence of them being reverse lookups, it would have been thrown out at the
first hurdle.
However this is what is being suggested for telephone numbers.

Or is .ptr in the next round of sponsored TLDs?
