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

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

--- Comment #5 from Michael Kay <mike@saxonica.com> ---
I think one practical way forward here would be a non-normative alignment of
the "ordinal" option of xsl:number and format-integer with the %spellout
mechanism used in ICU.

For xsl:number, we should suggest that implementors might like to provide
syntax like

ordinal="yes(%spellout-ordinal-n)"

or

ordinal="no(%spellout-cardinal-masculine)"

and similarly for format-integer:

format-integer(17, "999c(%spellout-cardinal-masculine)")

This would be entirely within the letter and spirit of the XSLT 3.0 / XPath 3.1
specifications and I think we could do it by adding non-normative material to
the current specifications.
