Anywhere where this is noted?  Neither the IETF nor any standards or
standards track RFCs will substantiate this.  I'm not saying it's not true;
it's just the kind of brain dead thing that somebody would do, but I don't
know who the official word would come from on this one.  I could call my
telco people, but they're not exactly on top of things of an engineering
nature.
