Normally, Danish users never switch to English or any other language. So it
does not matter that 0 and 1
does not work in English locales. Maybe they should woro in English locales,
tho.
It seems like + and - do not work in da_DK. As said earlier, + and - is common
in
Danish banks, and thus should be valid responses. I do not think 1+ and 0- do
any harm, and they are pretty obvious, and would be good defaults that would
work in many
locales worldwide.
