Hi Jacques,

Since ( and ) are special in the string representation of search filters,
you will probably have to hex-escape them (ie "\28" for "(" and "\29" for
")") when they're inside an assertion value. See RFC 2254 section 4.

NB the telephone number matching rule ignores spaces and "-"s.

Cheers,

Chris
