If you convince Bert to change it, I'll be happy to make sure it applies on dev.w3.org. :) I agree it looks weird on short paragraphs. I suspect indentation works well in books and magazines mainly because the line lengths are typically much shorter than you typically wind up with on the Web. > Wrt " There are two letters for 10,000 and 20,000 (U+0555 and > U+0556 respectively), but whether and how they should be used > is unclear.", I think there are two options: > > 1. leave it out, since we now only specify numbering up to 9,999. > > 2. leave it in, as a note, but add information to say that numbers > over 9,999 tend to be indicated using an (as yet undefined) > combining character, but sometimes one of the two characters > mentioned here are used for 10,000 and 20,000 respectively. > I could do some wording if you like. > > In the latter case, I think the text should be moved to the section > on lower-armenian, since that's where the algorithm is described. > I'm not aware that this applies only to upper-armenian. Third option: comment it out. I will comment it out. I'm still hoping you'll take over the numbering systems part of this module, so you can uncomment or whatever as you like when you do. :P > Another v small nitty suggestion: " The suffix for the armenian > numbering system is a dot .
