It does drop a leading zero in the area code. It doesn't drop leading zeros from the prefix series or the exchange series. In the USA no area code starts with a zero so this would be a nonissue.

Ho, ho: indeed so!

But look what happens if the user types a string of zeroes - perhaps to represent that no phone number is provided. In any case, it is odd to choose to use the character (hash) that specifically drops leading zeroes instead of the obvious one (zero) that faithfully reproduces the input digits when one knows that dropping zeroes will never be needed.
