One issue would be that “DDDDD” should actually = *2nd*  not *2th* …

ie. it would be /highly/ localization/language dependent to try to indicate 
an ordinal rather than just let the number stand on it's own…  if I recall it 
would be 2e in French, but I think I've also seen  2me  … so it could be 
quite problematic, particularly with any large selection of regions.
