<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I believe that the intent with v4 was to more strongly
encourage people to use the partyNumber field with properly-specified
numbers. (The Bob method.) I'm not sure that Glen's method was
intended to contradict the Bob method, but it did pre-date the Bob method and
should probably have been updated in light of the later addition of the Bob
method to more strongly align with the Bob method. However, the Glen
method supporters may disagree with that-- particularly as the Glen method
relates more specifically to service provider gateways and the Bob method
related more toward enterprise dialing (I think). Nonetheless, I agree
that we should have consistency between the two documents. :-)</FONT></DIV>

that "Private telephone numbers" shall be encoded in the UUIE as private

Let's call this the "Bob method". See Table 18/H.225.0 Note 1.</SPAN></FONT>
<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

"Glenn method". See H.323v4/7.8.2.1 and 7.8.2.2.</SPAN></FONT></LI></UL>
