Using a period instead of a hyphen is more accepted outside the US and
is becoming more common in the US. I vaguely remember it being some
ISO standard to do so, but don't quote me.

+<country-code>.<rest-of-phone-number> where <rest-of-phone-number>
would be <area-code>.<NPA>.<NXX> in the US would probably be
"acceptable" all over the world.
