	Is there some reason you can't run some external translation
server (asterisk, ser, etc..) that will make sense of the dialplans
independently of your ios based devices?

	I've found that it's worthwhile to rewrite things to the longest
possible string eg: 001 313 555 1212 whenever possible, then create the
dial-peers as necessary to strip the irrelevant stuff off.
