That almost happens, when numbering is set to "context".
Can you explain your intention more clearly? Suppose language A and
language B have numbering systems that are only available by using the
"Native Numbering" option. Now suppose a user would like to author a
document using both languages and their respective numbering systems.
How would that be possible with the current implementation?
That the majority of languages and writing systems that have such a use
case are endangered, or extinct, is not enough of a reason to justify
its removal.
My intention was not to remove the possibility of using those numbering
systems, rather that they should be available directly without requiring
the use of "native numbering" + setting your preferred locale.
MS Office does not have such an option and I don't think anyone misses it.
That MSO lacks the feature is simply evidence of their corporate
commitment to acute monolingualism.
I did add that (afaik) it's not a missed feature either.
thanks
