For years, all phone numbers had hyphen separators (212-555-1212) but
use of the dot separator (212.555.1212) seems to be growing.
Any advantage of one over the other?
What I've seen as mostly recommended and widely used in examples is that
"only spaces should be used to visually separate groups of numbers",
e.g. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.123>...
But here's some more specific info for North America
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_conventions_for_writing_telephone_numbers>:
The traditional convention for phone numbers is (AAA) BBB-BBBB...
Sometimes the stylized format of AAA.BBB.BBBB is seen, more common
since the rise of the Internet and the dot-separated notation of
domain names and their subdomains.
