This approach would actually work without the need for subsequent
validation, if implemented properly. Not only as you noted does it let
"259" through, but also it doesn't cover 2-digit numbers starting with
2. Assuming excess leading zeroes are illegal, the components required
are:

\d
[1-9]\d
1\d\d
2[0-4]\d
25[0-5]
