Can you post an example of a number that should pass, but is failing?
The only thing I can see that might be a bit odd is the [-.] class. Normally
you have to put the - at the end of the class so the regex engine doesn't
see it as part of a character range. Given that there are only 2 characters
in that class I don't think it should matter, but it might.
