There MAY be no violation of specs here. These wildcard chars (! etc) are used
only in the HSS or other nodes (only to optimize handling of multiple related
URIs) and not in a SIP message?. Just a thought, not sure. Have a look at the
following text from 23.003.
========================
The public service identity shall take the form of either a SIP URI (see IETF
RFC 3261 [26]) or a Tel URI (see IETF RFC 3966 [45]). A public service identity
identifies a service, or a specific resource created for a service on an
application server. The domain part is pre-defined by the IMS operators and the
IMS system provides the flexibility to dynamically create the user part of the
PSIs.
The PSIs are stored in the HSS either as a distinct PSI or as a wildcarded PSI.
A distinct PSI contains the PSI that is used in routing , whilst a wildcarded
PSI represents a collection of PSIs. Wildcarded PSIs enable optimisation of the
operation and maintenance of the nodes. A wildcarded PSI consists of a
delimited regular expression located either in the userinfo portion of the SIP
URI or in the telephone-subscriber portion of the Tel URI. The regular
expression in the wildcarded PSI shall take the form of Extended Regular
Expressions (ERE) as defined in chapter 9 in IEEE 1003.1-2004 Part 1 [60]. The
delimiter shall be the exclamation mark character ("!"). If more than two
exclamation mark characters are present in the userinfo portion or
telephone-subscriber portion of a wildcarded PSI then the outside pair of
exclamation mark characters is regarded as the pair of delimiters (i.e. no
exclamation mark characters are allowed to be present in the fixed parts of the
userinfo portion or telephone-subscriber portion).
When stored in the HSS, the wildcarded PSI shall include the delimiter
character to indicate the extent of the part of the PSI that is wildcarded. It
is used to separate the regular expression from the fixed part of the
wildcarded PSI.
Example: The following PSI could be stored in the HSS -
"sip:[email protected]".

Sure it's not allowed per RFC 3966 BNF syntax rules.

This is annoying. It means that this specification violates the grammar
specified in RFC 3966. Theorically RFC 3966 is just updated by RFC 5341.
Sincerelly I can't understand how the above spec can requiere such aberration
in Tel URI.

Sorry, no idea, this is really confusing. Do people writting specifications
really want TEL URI to be usable??
