This is not quite how I understood it. To me it seemd like an
additional font attribute that said that "this is a number", then the
needed machinery to output the rtl commands would also be added. I am
not sure if automatic detection of numbers and automatically set the
"number" attribute was wanted.

We had something that we called "CharParams", seems to be the
beginning of what I put forward in prev mail.
I see that the CharParams we added just contained a LyXFont and a
language string.
