[REBOL] Re: Rebol Enhancement Proposal - Telephone numbers

The Telephone/local below would actually break or at least be
more complicated in Oregon where we have gone to 10 digit dialing.
Some nonesense about too many cell phones and pagers... I think
that it would have made a lot of sense to put them on their own area code(s), but the
PUC didn't.
