that's true, and I don't feel too strongly about this, but currently
some locales are using numbers and some are using Unicode code points so
there's a bit of inconsistency, also it's not that hard to read these
once one sees that e.g. 12 becomes "<U0031><U0032>" i.e. only the last
digit matters.
Thanks,
