I do not understand what you mean by "decimal". Aren't
三五
三十五
参拾伍
all decimal? Here 三 and 参 mean 3, while 五 and 伍 mean 5.
十 and 拾 mean 10.
Aren't
> 三〇五,
> 三百五,
> 参百五, or
> 参〇五
（参〇伍 and 参百伍 are also possible.)
all decimal? Here 〇 means 0, and 百 means 100.
For representing amount of money, 参拾伍 and 参百五 are very common.
For representing years, 三五 and 三十五 are common.
Probably your "decimal" system does not use 十, 百, 千, and so forth?
We have at least two options for the converion from numbers to
han-ideographic representations. They are 1) whether we should use 壱弐
参 or not, and 2) whether we should use 十, 百, 千, and so forth.
But I do not think we should try to incorporate such a mechanism in the
upcoming CSS3 Text. I think it should be defered to CSS4 Text or
CSS5 Text.
Your suggestion, namely
> But even then, HTML+CSS can do it:
>
> <abbr class="number" title="三十五">35</abbr>
>
> vertical.css:
> abbr.number { content: attr(title) }
and Hacon's span elements combined with display:none look fine to me.
Cheers,
Makoto
