At least for IESG approval, I believe that's incorrect, as I believe I've seen an AD Discuss promised on this issue for a different draft. The phone number item is in the ID-Checklist for good reasons. Ultimately, this is Brian Carpenter's call, as I'm effectively his reviewer. IMHO, variant 1 clearly ought to use fictitious or drama numbers. For variant 2, Alex's alternatives of using a fictitious or drama number and explaining that it wouldn't be allocated that way makes sense: > > - Use a drama number for variant 2, nevertheless it would > > _not_ be assigned that way, and add a note about this deficiency. There's precedent for this, as RFC 4632 (the new CIDR RFC) does something analogous with Internet address allocation - that RFC uses private address space blocks (e.g., 10.0.0.0/8, see RFC 1918) in its examples of allocation of global Internet addresses, even though the private addresses aren't globally routable and hence would never be allocated by a service provider as global Internet addresses. The clarity of the examples does not seem to be affected. OTOH, if there is a good reason for not using US or UK numbers in the examples, use of a truncated number may be ok.
