Hi all. I particularly agree with comment #4: vat checking is a nice plus, but customers must be able to enter any VAT code, even from an unsupported country.
There are many better approaches to to this check, like the xrg one, or the one in 6.1 (not tested yet). Still, the general idea should be that the module tries to check what it can, and only give an error when it knows that the number is incorrect. A quick fix for v6 is just to "return True" instead of "return False" when we have an unknown country. I think we can get that in, since my customer has a service contract ) . General improvements can still go to 6.1.

In case that a country specific validation is not defined in the base_vat module, only a basic country check should be performed, but otherwise should allow the VAT code to be introduced. The basic check should be as per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VAT_identification_number#VAT_numbers_by_countries: The full identifier starts with an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (except for Greece which uses the non-standard country code EL) and then has between 5 and 12 characters. These 5 to 12 characters are numeric in most countries but in some countries they may contain letters.
