<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=690161223-19062001>I just realize a
contradiction in H.323v4 and H.225.0v4 concerning the encoding of "private
telephone numbers" (i.e., the type we all use at work):</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<UL>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=690161223-19062001>H.225.0v4 says that
"Private telephone numbers" shall be encoded in the UUIE as private numbers,
and NOT in the Q.931 information elements (Calling party IE, etc.). Let's call
this the "Bob method". See Table 18/H.225.0 Note 1.</SPAN></FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=690161223-19062001>H.323v4 says that
the Q.931 information element is used for "telephone numbers", and that the
UUIE is used for things that are not telephone numbers. Let's call this the
"Glenn method". See H.323v4/7.8.2.1 and 7.8.2.2.</SPAN></FONT></LI></UL>

with both method for "public" telephone number, but there is a conflict for
"private" telephone numbers.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
