I don't believe saying the charge in a machine readable format is necessary, as each country (or at least here in the UK) have certain prefixes for certain charges, i.e. here all freephone are 0800, 0500 or 0808 i believe. 0845 is local rate and 09** is premium rate and so on. So although it is good for you to say the charge in a human readable format, I don't believe it's necessary to make it machine readable, as the prefix does that anyway.

As for location for phone number, I don't know too much about this, but I think usually it can be assumed the number is located in the country of the address. Yours is an exception, and perhaps it would be good to declare which country code the number is located in, it would make figuring out charges using the above easier. I don't know if this has been discussed. I think it depends on how common this would be.

I have been slowly implementing microformats across our clients sites.

However I have noted a number of instances within a few addresses that just don't seem to fit in microformats.

*Case 1*

Reply Paid Addresses

eg

Reply Paid 61461
Locked Bag 1233 (okay this bit is the class="post-office-box")

"Reply Paid 61461" Its not really a post-office-box strictly or is in bundled in the post-office-box class

*Case 2*

Freecall numbers

you can have telephone numbers of the type

home (allowed for)
work (allowed for)
fax  (allowed for)
cell  (allowed for)
pager (allowed for)

and then you can also
Freecall  (no allowance)
Freefax (no allowance)

*Case 3*

How do you express the case of an address as

Work telephone (understand this one)
Fax number (understand this one)

this is the bit I'm having trouble with

Freecall (from one country - AU eg 1800 1234 1234)
Freecall (from another country - NZ 800 232 222)

in this case the numbers all go to the work telephone just they are free to use (well local call costs)

So how do I render this in microformats.
Sorry if its on the wiki, or this is the wrong list, just its not that clear.
