That's on page 3532 (lines 119660-1 aside from the leading "It" which is on line 119659). I haven't checked Issue 8 Draft 2.1, but I cannot see any reason that section would have changed. I also cannot imagine that only Kanji or Hindi is intended there, just for systems that don't use arabic digits (0 1 2 ...). kre ps: I agree that this is still largely a WG14 issue.
