Hi Ozz,
Sorry for the delay. The 000- set was an interum gap used for ION listing of an NC and others so that it gave a STATIC blockable number that Z3 could use.
See, their verson of '911' is '000'. As nodelisting of IONs took off, this caused issues in Z3 with new sysops dialing their emergency services. Z1 had the same issues with 911 but there wre not many to deal with listed like that. Z1 however had thousands.
As Makenl developed, we were able to have nodelists with -Unpublished- on NC's and RC's and so on. It took a little time for this to be accepted so there was a delay in implementation. Z6 lead the charge and put in the 000-0-0-0-0 'standard' while notifying Z3 to make it a stadard block. Z1 followed within a week as I recall as some other zones.
One of the zones took a bit to resolve some technical issues and now, we can generate a clean nodelist across all with no danger of dialing the Australian/New Zeland emergency line by accident.
