So to resolve this we now have a function formatPercent which takes the
number and the locale and runs it through icu's PercentInstance to
format it according to that locale's formatting rule. Which gives e.g.
"10 %" for de and "10%" for en. (http://site.icu-project.org/)

But at least my copy of Duden "Satz- und Korrekturanweisungen" asks for a
thin instead of a full space in front of percent (and per-mille) signs in
German.  Could we handle that, too, or is that beyond the state of the art
in UI typography?

Unicode has a thin space character (U+2009), so if translators used it
it should just work. The tricky part would be ICU.
