[xep-support] Arabic-range numbers

[Reynolds-Gregg]

Of course the obvious simple solution hit me this morning: hack the font.  Just move the Arabic glyphs into the Latinate codepoints.   The nice thing is this would also work for traditional counting like abjadia and iroha.

	Hi list,
	
	I understand XEP supports the minimum requirements for the "format"
	property so I won't be able to get Middle Eastern-style Arabic numerals
	for my page numbers.  But it seems like there must be a workaround of
	some kind.  Can I write some kind of xsl expression that will retrieve a
	number value and use it to index into a list of chars to typeset?  I'd
	hack at it myself but I'm a little pressed for time at the moment and I
	have an Arabic document to deliver to a picky client, and having Arabic
	arabic numerals would be a big win.  Any workaround suggestions?
	
	Thanks
	
	gregg
