LRM or RLM do not normally override number presentation as per unicode bidi
algorithm description at http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/. However, explicit
directional embeddings or overrides could affect number presentations -
remember, numbers are weak characters in the bidi algorithm.
If you have a look at the section on resolving weak characters, the so called
"context" setting comes into play in how Arabic Numbers and European Numbers are
changed to fit the text run. 
The spec, however, allows implementations to reset numbers to be all Arabic or
all European (Section 4.3). Open Office for windows so far has ignored the
number formatting behaviour in the standard. With all due respect, I think there
is no need to invent a new spec but to use the standard itself as the 
reference.
