field type 'phonenumbers': can we format the parts using spaces?

hi there,

is there a way to allow spaces in numbers during editing, to have a formatted version of the number, too, maybe in a future version?
example:
"part1": 33
"part2": 12 333
"part3": 20 00

The field could then display the formatted version as entered by the user (e.g. "33 - 12 333 20 00") and also provide a machine readable, trimmed version for callto-links etc... Maybe there could even be delimiter-configuration?
(EDIT: but then again, maybe this would be overkill, and we can build fancier phone numbers with a simple textfield and some template-php.. don't know anymore today.. )

Hello

maybe a parameter:
"allows spaces"
- that will allow spaces, and will replace multiple spaces with one

yes that sounds great (also: easy to understand for editors)!
