[Bug 27614] [XSLT30] zero-digit replacement? [I18N-ISSUE-393]

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=27614

--- Comment #2 from Michael Kay <mike@saxonica.com> ---
Personal response:

Note that xsl:number (in XSLT) and format-integer() (in both XSLT and XQuery)
support other numbering systems, but format-number() (and hence
xsl:decimal-format) does not. Neither has support for radices other than 10.

We introduced format-integer() to provide more flexibility than format-number()
in the case where the numbers being formatted are integers, and at the same
time to be context independent (there is no separate format declaration, as
there is with format-number()). However, format-integer() and xsl:number still
provide rather less that CLDR.

(And I've also found cases where CLDR seems to provide less than is needed. For
example there seems to be a distinction in German between the grammatical
contexts of "Chapter 101" (hunderteins) and "101 dalmations" (hundertundein)
which I don't see in CLDR).
