--- Comment #12 from Eike Rathke <[email protected]> ---
Adding a number format code like

[<1000000]0.00," kB";[<1000000000]0.00,," mB";0.00,,," gB"

is certainly possible and would needed only to be done in the locale
data files. Suitable for an EasyHack :-)

Extending the number format syntax to allow different bases is
difficult. While doable in the number formatter itself the problems are:

* There are no means to store this in ODF file format yet, so we'd need
  to come up with a proposal to the OASIS TC.
  * Until accepted we'd need to store such a thing in an extension
    namespace.

* The format codes strive to be compatible with the ones Excel uses and
  are mostly written as is to MS file formats, or with minor conversions
  involved. If Excel does not know such base N feature (I think it does
  not, please correct me if I'm wrong) the format would be lost on
  export / reimport.
