asterisk users - Jun 2011 - why doesn't "s" accept incoming call

Call from 'sip' to extension '+1xxxyyyzzzz' rejected because
extension
not found in context 'out'.

But
[out]
exten => s,1,NoOp( this is the extension: ${EXTEN})
exten => s,n,Answer()
exten => s,n(weasels),PlayBack(weasels-eaten-phonesys)
........

If I set "s" to "_." it works.

Shouldn't "s" work here? Is it because the extension includes a
"+"?

S stands for start.  Inbound calls via a provider, to your inbound 
context would match.  For you example, it'd have to be:

[out]
exten => +1xxxyyyzzzz,1,NoOp( this is the extension: ${EXTEN})
exten => +1xxxyyyzzzz,n,Answer()
exten => +1xxxyyyzzzz,n(weasels),PlayBack(weasels-eaten-phonesys)

"s" is only used when there is no extension.

Using "_." poses a potential security risk, if you then use ${EXTEN}
for a subsequent Dial.  The best way to do it is to define your
extensions exactly or based on some pattern that doesn't end with
".".

"s" is NOT a wildcard.  "s" matches "empty
extension", it does not match "all extensions".

"s" is seldom used except in macros and with FXO ports (analog or CAS)
