The digits <integer>? description says:
"Within the element, each maximal sequence of consecutive ASCII digits (U+0030–U+0039) ..."

But later we read:
"any full-width characters must first be converted to their non-full-width equivalents by reversing the algorithm defined for ‘text-transform: full-width’ in [CSS3TEXT]"

Which seems to imply that full-width characters are also affected by the digits value. If so, the range of codepoints should be extended.

And if so, what about the range of half-width digits? Are they also included?  If so, they should probably also be converted to ASCII characters like full-width ones.

Or is this just another confusion caused by loose use of the term 'character', meaning here glyph?
