Sorry for not being clear. My question is more "why do you propose such 
scheme?". For me it feels inconsistent to have both figures and spelled out 
numbers. My intuition is that such rule is harder to remember than simple ones 
like "use figures everywhere" or "always spell out". I assume you base your 
proposal on common practices in american? british? English or studies around 
human perception which are unknown to me as an ESL : ).
