A leading zero does serve a purpose actually - if one is keying in a
password that includes a leading zero, then dropping it leaves one
without the knowledge of whether it is needed or not.

Rather than trying to make assumptions of what the user of a package
needs, I recommend leaving what someone types into a field EXACTLY as
they type it.  If a field has entry contraints, just don't let the
wrong kind of data be entered into the field in the first place.
