Samphan, Karl's point, if I understand correctly, is that if there's a language
box, then we don't need to add all the en_US numbering types, only those of the
en_US numbering types that are commonly used in a Thai language environment.  In
other words th_TH would contain the special Thai types together with those of
the US types that Thais commonly use.  Then a Thai user would only need to
change the language if they want to access a numbering type that is unusual in
Thailand.  That makes sense to me.  The question then arises of which of the
en_US numbering  types are used in Thailand. Now I know that 1, 2, 3,... is very
commonly used in Thailand.  What about the others a/A/i/II?

However, even with the language box, I think a limit of 8 is too small to cover
the numbering types typically used in a particular locale.  The numbering type
is a combination of the separator and the numbering sequence; these are fairly
independent. There are at least 3 kinds of separator that are very commonly
used: "N)", "(N)" and "N.". With a limit of 8, as soon as you have 3 numbering
sequences, you are arbitrarily leaving out numbering types.  For example, in
English, (i) and i) are very commonly used, but are not available in the OOo.

To summarize, I think adding a language box is a good idea, but we still need to
allow for more than 8 numbering types.
