I find phone canonicalization enormously useful.
I think we should keep all phone numbers as strings, and have a user
variable bbdb-phone-canonicalize which should be nil for "as is" or a
function which is applied to the phone and should return the
canonicalized phone string.
Same for zip codes (bbdb-zip-canonicalize).
Unless someone objects, I will do something like this next week.
