IMHO this is all part of the representation and not of the data model.

Actually it can have multiple values and you can mix it with <pattern>
like:
<string name="zip">
<mask>ddddd</mask>
<mask>ddddd-dddd</mas>
</string>
This would be equal to
<string name="zip">
<pattern>(\d\d\d\d\d|\d\d\d\d\d-\d\d\d\d)</pattern>
</string>
You could also mix it, but i don't have an example for this.
Cu,
Goetz.
