Phone number tidy-up is now complete, per the original discussion. I
think we still could clean up this list further.... I welcome any
discussion in that regard. Any phone numbers using letters instead of
numbers remain with letters.
The top 10 formats used in Canada are:
20640 phone"+#-###-###-####
4457 phone"+# ###-###-####
3749 phone"+# ### ### ####
2630 phone"+# ### ###-####

A further update on this work:
* I found more yet bizarre phone-related tags "phone:1",
"telephone" and the like. These have all been tidied. My
osmfilter now looks like this: --keep="contact:*=* or
phone*=* or Phone*=* or alt_phone=* or fax*=* or tty*=*"
Additional suggestions for something to search on are welcome so
I get all phone numbers.
* I found there were some formats used very regionally eg.
Edmonton Schools used one format consistently and Ottawa Schools
used a different format consistently.
* The canada.poly filter I have been using includes Saint Pierre
and Miquelon (which does not use North American dialing plan),
as well as a few US entries (especially relations which go near
the border). If anyone knows of a canada.poly that is tighter,
can you point me in the direction? I am generally leaving
non-Canadian entries alone, but they do count in the stats below.
* There are now 67 unique tag/phone number format combinations
(down from 400+ originally) when using egrep -i
'k="[a-z:]*(phone|fax|tty)[a-z:]*" ' $OSMFILENAME | cut -d\"
-f2,4 | sed -e 's/[0-9]/#/g' | sed -e 's/[A-Z]/A/g' | sed -e
's/([a-zA-Z -]*)/(...)/g' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | wc -l
* The bulk of the work remaining now is to reformat the big groups
of numbers that do not begin with "+1". I will make changes by
area code to limit the number of canada-wide changesets.
As always, comments welcome.
