Guidelines surrounding use of numbers or roman numerals

GRE said he had been looking at examples and he was most comfortable with the last proposal, doing it as in the literature, because there was no consistency. He said they should go with the diversity, no way to standardize. On whether to represent the alternative number as a synonym, GRE said search engines would not expect to do the transformation, so if users might do it both ways, then the team would have to record both ways. If they are usually represented one way, there was no reason to write the synonym.

BGO said if there is no preference in common usage, then just choose one. JCA suggested using arabic if there is no preference in the literature. The AG members agreed.

As noted on the agenda, "Recommendation: use the most common use in the literature for the FSN. The alternative representation will be included as a synonym if also represented in the literature. If no preference, use the arabic representation."
