Hi, What a great collection of most nations text and number formats. 
Really an impressive work, but as a born Dane, preferring English 
language on my PC, I came across an error in the Danish phone number format.

The current setup for Danish Phone number is +45 123 1234567 as shown in 
this Linux distro.

The actual format (and in Denmark ALL phone numbers have generally 8 
digits both mobile and land line) so the right format is:

    +45 12 34 56 78  always in blocks of 2 digits.


Only for emergency and other special numbers, we use 3 digits or more 
like (911) in EU form that is for Denmark 112. The number format is run 
by the Danish  "Digitaliseringsstyrelsen" who has the responsibility to 
make the formats. You can't define a location based on our number system 
as that is random.

Here is the link to Digitaliseringsstyrrelsen page for phone and mobile 
numbers:

Thank you for the great job it is.

Best Regards,

Steen Ricks Olsen
