Thank you for putting back ED-6.

I thought about the configuration of the home emergency number and how
to map the home emergency number to the visited one. In case the same
emergency (sub-)services exist in both the home and visited country,
there shouldn’t be a problem. But what about the following situation:
the user dials his home dialstring for sos.physician, but this service
does not exist in the visited country.
Or the user just has a single home dial string for sos, but there is
no such general emergency service in the visited country, but all the
subservices. Where should the call be connected to?

Would it make sense to have a rule on this like:

Home emergency dial strings should be mapped to the corresponding
emergency service in the visited country. In case there is not such a
service in the visited country, the mapping for urn:service:sos should
be used to connect the call. If there is no such general emergency
service available, urn:service:sos.police should be tried, followed by
other randomly selected services in case of failure.
?
