I proposed a currency pattern for table schema. I came across a comment in Specs Issue #258 highlighting the -£1000.00 edge case.

How is this handled by TableSchema.js?

It will not work in tableschema-js. We could fix it but it probably should be fixed on the spec level too

If false the contents of this field may contain leading and/or trailing non-numeric characters (which implementors MUST therefore strip).

because it clearly says about leading/trailing characters. So the lib just follows it.

I'll close and leave this to be handled in specs first
