[news.eclipse.technology.ercp] ConstrainedText questions

["Mark Rogalski" <rogalski@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It seems the ConstrainedText PhoneNumber style does not allow a few "white 
space"  characters which are typically used for North American phone 
numbers. These are "(", ")", and "-". They have no meaning for dialers but 
are almost always used to make reading a number easier. The Hyperlink widget 
does display these characters. I think for consistency and usability we 
should add these as valid characters for ConstrainedText PhoneNumber style.

Also, less of an issue but still something that we should consider, is that 
a user may wish to use "white space" numeric separators like "," in the 
ConstrinedText Numeric and Decimal styles. For instance, "123,456.78".  What 
do you think about this?
