What would be the way to go for magazine ISSN's? For example 0000-0051, 1534-0481 or something ending on an X?
The last figure is a checkdigit, but I know regexps don not calculate, so we'll just have to do the shape...

If you follow this link http://www.isbn.org/standards/home/isbn/international/html/usm4.htm
it explains how the various part of an ISBN can vary in length but in the end has 10 digits. The regex after finding the string ISBN (followed by a space) has 13 characters to the end of the string which is the length of the digit and separators, then finds the remaining parts of the ISBN in their allowed length range.

ISBN uses a modulus 11 for it's check digit. See http://www.isbn.org/standards/home/isbn/international/html/usm4.htm
This regex doesn't validate if the check digit is good or not.

The last digit is a modulo 14(? not sure) check digit.

The RE does not properly limit the number of digits. You can end up with a 14 digit ISBN that will match with this pattern.
