As ? was not working, any combination with ? was not working. Combining # and 0
was working fine.

Sorry I went too fast. 
The format code of integer part must be in the following order:
- zero or any number of "#"
- zero or any number of "?"
- zero or any number of "0"
For the decimal part, it is the opposite order. For instance, these formats are
correct:
##??00.00??##
?????0.#
But if you mix order of coding characters, format will be non sense. These
formats cannot be saved in ODF (even if you can save them in XLSX) because they
are not coherent:
00?#?.#0?0
?#0.?0

There may be someone who could assigned it to him/herself, but nobody will
assigned to someone else. It's a voluntary project.
As far as I am concerned, I could have a look in few weeks, if nobody takes
care of it.

Replacing ? with 0 is the best choice for versions unable to interpret ? in
integer part: a place is reserved for the digit.
