Why is barcode format 'itf' meant to be ITF14?

[mperkh]

We try to switch from a JS based solution to using the Barcode Detection API available on Android Chrome.

Unfortunately, it turns out that the barcode format option itf is meant to be ITF14, which is a special form of Interleaved 2 of 5 barcode symbology and must always be 14 digits long, among other restrictions.

As the name suggests, itf should include all variants of Interleaved 2 of 5.

Can you provide an example of an ITF barcode which Android Chrome cannot decode?
