here are some of my personal comments after I reviewed this draft (
http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-css3-lists-20021107/ ) against the paper I
put together for the 16th International Unicode Conference, March 27-30,
2000 in Amsterdan, Holland
at http://people.netscape.com/ftang/paper/unicode16/part2.html
1. armenian and lower-armenian
The characters you used there seems very different from what inside my
paper. Where do you get those definitation?
It looks like you list the "lower-armenian" to express the number. From
all the books and paper I collect, I didn't see the use of lower case
armenian characters for number. Have this got reviewed by native Armenian?
Could you list the references for future research ?
Here is my source:

Could you tell me more about the story of how you express 7000?
2. about japanese-formal and japanese-informal
Formal Japanese numbering System
This looks right
Informal Japanese numbering system
This does not looks right. I think your current value is wrong. First of
all, the current document repeatly use the same characters in Group
Marker and in the Digit Marker. That is definitaly wrong.
I think the definitation should be
Second Group Marker U+4E07
Third Group Marker U+5104
Fourth Group Marker U+5146
Second Digit Marker U+5341
Third Digit Marker U+767e
Fourth Group Marker U+5343
Digit 0 U+96f6
Digit 1 U+4e00
Digit 2 U+4e8c
Digit 3 U+4e09
Digit 4 U+56db
Digit 5 U+4e94
Digit 6 U+516d
Digit 7 U+4e03
Digit 8 U+516b
Digit 9 U+4e5d
Notice that Second Group Marker/Third Group Marker and Fourth Group
Marker should be the same characrers used in the formal Japanese
simp-chinese-formal
formal simplified Chinese numbering
(you should call it Simplified Chinese. Not "Simple Chinese" same in the
simp-chinese-informal session)
Your table does not looks right. I think the following characters should
be used instead
Second Group Marker U+4E07
Third Group Marker U+4ebf
Fourth Group Marker U+5146
Second Digit Marker U+62fe
Third Digit Marker U+4f70
Fourth Group Marker U+4edf
Digit 0 U+96f6
Digit 1 U+58f9
Digit 2 U+8d30
Digit 3 U+53c1
Digit 4 U+8086
Digit 5 U+4f0d
Digit 6 U+9646
Digit 7 U+67d2
Digit 8 U+634c
Digit 9 U+7396
simp-chinese-informal
informal simplified Chinese numbering
(you should call it Simplified Chinese. Not "Simple Chinese" same in the

About syriac
The use of U+032D and U+0331 is quite strange in this document. It looks
those are served as a temp place holder. I am not sure it is a good idea
to use these two particular Unicode characters here. Could you tell me
any reference about this algorithm?
trad-chinese-formal
Formal Traditional Chinese numbering system
Your table does not looks right. I think the following characters should
be used instead
Second Group Marker U+842c
Third Group Marker U+5104
Fourth Group Marker U+5146
Second Digit Marker U+62fe
Third Digit Marker U+4f70
Fourth Group Marker U+4edf

Digit 9 U+4e5d
upper-armenian
I am not sure it make sense to have lower-armenian or upper-armenian.
From my knowledge only the upper case character have been use to
express number. Which books/paper tell you that lower case characters
have been used?
Again, coulud you explain the source of why you use two characters to
express 7000
