> 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 §12.3 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?
