Peter, I thought during all those years that the standard is called E.164. I also thought that a phone number has no spaces or dashes. These are only added to help humans read the phone numbers.
We also used the libphonenumber and I think it is great to help us standardize. It works for all countries so I am not sure what's missing. I am sure you can add anything that you want after you normalize the number using the function.
