Hrm, I see your point of overthinking validation of user input. And yes,
if that user would be my grandma, she would wonder what the hell is meant
by DIN5008. I could change the error message to a more polite message, if
you want.
But the other question is if validation is supposed to handle not only the
"official" standards but any other potential phone numbers as well -- so
why having such fields in the first place? I don't mean to start a
standard flame war though, I just thought the more accurate the better
when I wrote {{{DEPhoneNumberField}}}.
The "informal" standard I was mentioning is widely used in Germany and
Austria and is the only notation that does not come from strict German
norm (yeah, there are such things).
So for example: {{{ +49 30 12345-67 }}} is correct following DIN5008 while
{{{ +49 (0)30 12345-67 }}} is incorrect, although everybody uses it. I
just made that crazy regular expression tolerant to that deviation.
But again, I won't stand in the way if you want to get rid of that
monster, I'm not a fan of nitpicking :)
