Why?
Speaking as an AppleScripter, that added about 24 fields which were very
messy to use. Entourage's understanding of phone numbers is pretty good and,
at least if you tell it what default format to expect, it understands that
anything after that is an extension and formats accordingly. It has
simplified things a lot in removing those silly extension fields. OE also
had more specified "other" phone fields, BTW, whereas Entourage has more
custom phone fields, which you can describe yourself, also an improvement.
