--- Comment #4 from sdc.blanco at youmail.dk ---
To go back to the original report:

Why should there be both "General" and "Standard" formats? 
That is the main concern.  

New way to demonstrate (not dependent on locale setting, as best I can tell),
and no need to open previous documents.

1.  Open document.  Use status bar to set language to Danish.
2.  Ctrl-F2, Variable, Set Variable  (shows "Standard") in Format
3.  Change language in same document to English (USA) or English (UK)
4.  Repeat Step 2 -- now shows "General"
5.  Change language to Finnish
6.  Repeat Step 2 -- now shows "Yleinen"


Presumably all the variables are still treated as numerical variables -- but
why should there be different format names for different languages (when the UI
language is not changing)?

(there is no documentation -- in English -- about "Standard" or "General"
format -- afaik)

(I assume that a document will store the version "Standard" or "General" or
whatever was used when the variable was created -- and will be used when the
document is opened.  No problem with that.  But still wondering if there should
be both "General" and "Standard")
