Neither. You should write your number formatting in PHP as an  
extension, not in template.

Wikitext is supposed to be a markup language, not a programming  
language, and for this reason we currently have no plans to enable  
StringFunctions or any similar functionality on Wikimedia sites.

This is my understanding of Brion and Tim's position. Please correct  
me if I'm wrong.
