19.364 number:transliteration-format - "...which number characters to use." ??? For what? (I know the answer, I think, but we don't say here.) 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: OFFICE-2950
                 URL: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2950
             Project: OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: ODF 1.2 Part 1 CD 5
            Reporter: Patrick Durusau
             Fix For: ODF 1.2 Part 1 CD 5


19.364 number:transliteration-format - "...which number characters to use." ??? For what? (I know the answer, I think, but we don't say here.)

Now reads: "The number:transliteration-format attribute specifies which number characters to use."

This is a case where I would concede the recasting of the text lost information but some critical bits were missing even in the 1.0 text.

Which read:

*****
14.7.10

The various number:transliteration-* attributes specify the native number system of the
style to display the number using, for example, CJK number characters. The notation is inspired
by the W3C XSLT 2.0 draft, see ยง12.3 of [XSLT2]. However, to be able to fully distinguish
between all possible native number systems additional attributes are needed in combination. For
example, Korean uses 11 different systems where the digits are not always different but short and
long and formal and informal forms exist.
*****
Then,

*****
Transliteration Format

The number:transliteration-format attribute specifies which number characters to use.
The value of the attribute is the digit "1" expressed as a native number.
If no format is specified the default ASCII representation of Arabic digits is used, other
transliteration attributes present in this case are ignored.
*******

Do you see the missing part?

We never say that the value of the digit "1" expressed as a native number identifies a set of digits in a particular language in the Unicode standard. 

That is implied but not very well. 

Plus in its current structure, we need to identify the number:transliteration-* attributes that are to be ignored. 

Possibly a note on usage of the other attributes?
