+ should be an alias to 00 if at the beggining of a number. This usage of +
is so common and international that it would be IMHO dumb to intentionally
ignore it.

It would be good to store the number in a normalized format (like 00) but
present it in a consistent format to the most common usage.

In PCRE (after trimming any whitespace)...   ^(?:\+?|00)\d+$
