Hello Patrick,

I think the implementation was done with a pragmatic approach, to make sure
that we don't reject numbers that are used in the field. The ITU standard
Amendment A mentions the possibility to use national short numbers, for
example. The standard mentions that the maximal length should be 15, but I
think in this case this was also implemented a bit more relaxed.

The original implementation from the enum module allows even longer numbers, I
will check if this should be synchronized.

Best regards,

Henning
