I'm okay with tangents because I love learning about formatting & cultural differences. I think it's fascinating!

And yeah that's interesting because here in the US, putting a hyphen in between each section is typically much more common. For example, we'd write 123-456-7890.

I think when I was much younger, in the 80s it was more common to use hyphens. But I think this was more when people wrote with a pen on paper.

On shop fronts and when printed, seems quite the rarity here I think.

How do you prevent overflow with line breaks without having to use   every single time, though? With a visible separator, there'd be no need for that.

I think the ITU E.123 predates HTML by some years...
