How does jsvat check the validity?

There is 2-step check:

1. Compare with list of Regexps;

For example regexp for austria is /^(AT)U(\d{8})$/.

Looks like ATU99999999 is valid (it's successfied the regexp), but actually it's should be invalid.

1. Some magic mathematical counting;

Here we make some mathematical calculation (different for each country). After that we may be sure that ATU99999999and for example ATV66889218 isn't valid, but ATU12011204 is valid.

At the moment the code was in public access without any license information.

I'm totally rewrite all the code.
