Hi,
I'm the maintainer of the vatnumber [1] module from where the OpenERP validation code comes.
I checked your code and would like to integrate into vatnumber but when looking on the web how to validate VAT in South African, I only find this [2] which suggest that the format should be ((19|20)[\d]{2}/[\d]{6}/[\d]{2}). But It doesn't look like your own validation code.
Could you give some hit?

By the way, I think it is better to have fix in the upstream. So I would
prefer if OpenERP did not copy/paste the code but just use the library
because it will prevent this kind of spreading issue in many places.

Thanks.
