in formatting
Product: Writer

Title
Small capitals
none has effects on numbers.
Professional desktop pubblishing applications has the "Text figures" support.
For example see:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_figures
Those apps take the gliphs codepoint for standard "capital" numbers, and
transform them to "Text figures", doing something similar to this:
70% body size for 0,1,2 digits, subscript plus 150% body size for 3,4,5,7,9
leaving 6 and 8 standard body size.
My suggestion is to keep Small Capitals for letter only, and add a new settings
named something like:
Text figures
that work on number doing Text figures, leaving free to select both options.
