What about matching numbers with or without the international code, 
including those cases where the number without international code must 
be prefixed with "0"?  e.g. "+49 (123) 45678" should match "4912345678" 
__and__ "012345678".  We had this pattern in Italy for some time; now 
fortunately the leading "0" must be always present, even with the 
international code.  I think many other countries still have the intl. 
code/leading 0 game, and I'm pretty sure those that allow fancy chars in 
telephone numbers also pretend these two numbers to be treated as synonyms.
