Andreas Guelzow  commented on OFFICE-1872:
------------------------------------------

I sitll see two problems:

(1) the proposed prose refers to system settings for  "short and long date and time formats". While they may exist the terms "short" and "long" refer to time and date components (months, days, etc.) Are there really system settings for these components?

(2) In the absence of system settings, how is the interpretation of "short" and "long" for date components defined?

> Currently reads: 
> "If the value of the number:format-source attribute is language, the meaning of short and long depends on the language and country of the date style, or, if neither of these are specified, applications should use the system settings for short and long date and time formats."
> It isn't clear which language and country attributes are applicable.
