New PR, replacing #3908
CLDR-17675
Revert the decimal/grouping change, but add alts to allow implementations to choose between official and us variant.
From the discussion in the Design meeting, we agreed on 2 variants, plus the default, as the normal pattern. That allows implementations to pick among the two choices by name — without having to know which was the default — or pick the default. People are also in favor of using semantic alt names, rather than just 'variant'.
Still draft because I want to pass this by the TC; there were a couple of things I wanted to get feedback on.
I think the decision was to go with the official syntax (12,34) for the default, but wanted feedback.
For the US style, I used alt="us", as probably the most recognizable term. But other suggestions are welcome. (Perhaps alt="period"?)
The ticket also mentioned R5,87 as the standard currency format, eg no space between currency alphabetics and the digits. That is in place also.
