Re: [alreq] Arabic decimal/thousand separator

@mmh-docufy-de @khaledhosny Thank you for the feedback.

We discussed this in today’s teleconference. We built these tables by 
combining the exemplar characters from ICU4J and CLDR for each 
language. These sources may not always be complete or up-to-date. For 
Persian, a national Iranian standard exists and we added characters 
listed in that too. For Arabic, unfortunately, we didn’t found a 
similar source.

We have to stick with resources and can’t add new characters to the 
list merely based on expert knowledge, but whenever there is a 
controversy about a character we can add a note for that one in the 
tables to say about that.

What do you think about this solution?

Of course, whenever a new reliable resource becomes available we would
 be happy to add that to improve the tables.

Again, thanks for the feedback. As I said, we can use these 
discussions to mark the potential flaws in the tables. So, please, 
keep them coming. :-)
