After some searching, i was able to track down the online article mentioned
in client protocol spec regarding E.164 Phone number formatting.
Unfortunately, looks like you have to become and ITU member to get it.

In the archives I found a sample of the format:

  +1.4165551122x1234

but no description of what is what.

I figure "1" is country code, "416" area code, "5551122" the phone number,
but I've no idea what the "x1234" is supposed to be. And is the "+"
necessary?

Any help would be appreciated,

Klaus
