We were more looking in the direction of "not doing worse than
LibreOffice in general", rather than improving i18n of LibreOffice :)

Since you are implying that LibreOffice as a whole requires ASCII
digits everywhere, my thinking is that we'll drop this whole
discussion and require ASCII digits.

No, it cannot.

Internally, we can map it to a negative value, but it needs to be
displayed to the user as "All".
