Swdeden personalidentitynumber - format acceptance and age validations

The format states the [-+] are optional.

• 11900102-2384 -> invalid because it needs + to indicate over 100 years of age, also im thinking 1800 should be a cutoff. 119001022384 would also be an acceptable format, but not pass due to 1800 cutoff (1190 is YYYY)
• 5505260017 -> valid because - is optional
• 198902255630 -> valid because - is optional
• 19781204+0009 -> invalid because + indicates age is over 100 years
• 19200102-0755 -> invalid because - indicates the age is under 100 years

I wonder if the - and + gets assigned only once during creation, and gets updated after a person turns 100 to make it accurate after they roll over 100 mark. I bet that doesn't happen often, most people don't live that long. 🤔

What happens to old records that were accurate at the time of entry with - but not today, as many years have passed and rolled them over 100 mark.

Probably explains why they are optional and use full year.

I've been working on this... It makes sense to "fix" the year to 4 digits and perform all validation after that. Not "stress" over the +- difference for the long form version.
