== Trailing zeros? ==
The article explains that leading zeroes have no effect on the checksum but that is probably not a weakness but a strength. If there is a weakness, surely it is that trailing zeros have no effect? 13, 130, 1300 and 13000 are all valid. An easy defence would be to reject all numbers ending in (one or more) zeroes.
