This works perfect as long as you have a closed numberingplan with fixed length numbers, but open numberingplans still exist. In your example the fixed length of 13 digits for the world won't work if you would like to call the Governement in Luxembourg (+352 478-1, this is not a special shortcode but a shortend geographic number.) or any of the extension which are generally +352 478 NXXX. This is just one example from many.
