Henry,
 
I know your position ;-) and I basically agree.
 
>Since the dial plan topic is so complex, even for the experts in the IETF ...
You mean "especially" for the (dial plan) experts in the IETF ;-)

>...how can anyone hope that developers or even more, users will get it right?
User normally had no problems with dial plans since more than 50 years.

>KISS and use only one of the three:

>1. E.164 numbers for the Internet challenged,
>2. SIP URIs for everyone else, or the best of all
>3. Hide any type of CA in the AO and use Presence. Just click to call.

I basically agree.

Anybody using a softclient, be it on a laptop, PDA or softphone
should use the same practice like on mobile phone, entering E.164 numbers 
ONLY (or preferably) in the international format with the leading "+"

Nevertheless, there are still may POTS phones out using terminal adapters
capable only of entering digits aad * and #.

So you MUST use a dialing plan and this can only be a national, local or
private dialing plan, because NO international dialing plan exists.

>I have followed the discussions on dial plans for a while, and it has been
>going on actually for several years. 

Yes, and I tried some two years ago to get a discussion going (ask Carl) to  find
a solution for global VoIP providers and eventually also a common 
practice to dial international numbers e.g. with * or ** as replacement
for +, with no reaction. I am currently thinking to revive and rewrite the draft
