Paul,
The E164 alias, in use, is the user dialed number not a structured E.164 address. The partyNumber is the structured E.164 or Private Number.

What is the difference between an e164 alias and a partyNumber alias? Was e164 found lacking, and does partyNumber now supercede it? Are we supposed to stop using e164? If not, how do we decide which form to use?
