Well you think incorrectly then, as that has not been the case for some time,
either in theory or in practice. On top of which 0203 is now in use as well...
As I said - been 25 years - I can remember the changeover but not what I did
last week :)
That said I see little benefit in a mass edit, especially in cases which just
amount to inserting or moving whitespace. Then again I see little benefit in
adding phone numbers to OSM in the first place.
In the absence of a mechanism to reliably link external data to objects in OSM,
then there is a small reason for including the phone number with an address,
along with a web url. But I'm probably with you that IN the main database is not
the right location. A secondary searchable database makes a lot more sense but
I've been pushing that for years :(
