------- Additional comments from ir...@openoffice.org Mon Dec 13 14:57:15 +0000 2010 ------- Now that I'd definitely put into a separate issue. I might even say, even though it is "expressly" forbidden to have the SI prefix directly following the number it is also the "de-facto-norm" to have it without the space. E.g. in my industry we use ###mm and ##.###m constantly. It's usually frowned upon when you write them ### mm ... so for that I might suggest an option for strict SI compliance (maybe as default) which would simply insert a space directly following the number. But as discussed, this whole SI conundrum needs a whole new formatting code in itself - apart from a new page on the format dialog and coding to accomplish such. The Eng formatting is just about fixable using the existing ODF spec ... well if we "trick" it a bit. The SI would be too complex to try and "trick" the ODF spec into working with it. So in the "short term" (what a laugh - 7.5 years already) I wouldn't hold my breath. Which actually makes me see this whole problem for what it is: It was reported originally long before the ODF spec was even thought of. Yet it was totally ignored when defining the spec. I think it was a scenario of trying to create too inflexible / restrictive rules, and then running into one of the incredibly prone situations of: "No-one can think of everything". --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
