I'm guessing here so could be wrong. Looking, for example, at http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0600.pdf indicates that perhaps the numerals used are in different parts of the Unicode space according to the language in use. So it is quite reasonable to ask that the numbers are selected appropriately. It's not just a font issue, but a need to tie the unicode points used in the numbering of lists etc. to the language in use there. Locales are no use; it has to be part of the document contents as it moves around the globe.
