I don't think this is a styling issue, except in special cases. The difference between "3.2" as a version number and as a decimal number is not a matter of rendering but of meaning. As I wrote previously, it could affect other things than just speech rendering, such as translation. The problem is that authors probably wouldn't use <number> markup consistently, so it would not be possible to decide that, say, "3.2" is _not_ a decimal number. Using <nonnumeric>3.2</nonnumeric> wouldn't probably become popular either. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
