@pms @Natasha_Jay @bsdphk One I specifically want abandoned is comma as thousand separator, as otherwise it would be just non-breakable space as thousands separators, and either dot or comma as decimal separator.
Although could also use units as separator, like done with height (1m60) and time (1h30m)

@lanodan @pms @bsdphk @Natasha_Jay I think @mirabilos told me that is basically what the ISO recommends

@lanodan @pms @bsdphk @Natasha_Jay In Indian Subcontinent , we use Lakh, Crore instead of millions and billions. So instead of 1,000,000,000.00, we write 100,00,00,000.00 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_numbering_system

@bsdphk @pms @Natasha_Jay @lanodan I really advice against spaces for thousands separators, but if you have to, use a thin nōn-breakable space (U+202F)instead, which pleases both ISO and IEEE and likely also IEC.
