The Oracle document is where I got that information. I was thinking
that entities would be a good approach but since Oracle has already
proposed a solution using tags, that seemed to have less conflict with
established practices.

I noticed that France uses spaces for number grouping separators
compared to Germany which uses commas. That makes the tagging method
best for document appearance where the W3C Schema omitting the
grouping separators is best for input to software.
