I can think of a few examples of this (none of which I think are
relevent to subversion):

* Punctuation: 1,300.25 vs 1.300,25

* Spelling of the word e.g two vs dos

Are there really any cases where we're using puncutation or
programatically converting a symbolic number to a lexical number? Is
there any realistic cases where we would want to start doing this in the
future?

Is there anything I'm missing?
