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.

Subject: [xep-support] Arabic-range numbers
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
