    ATTENTION: This interface is marked <em>internal</em> and does not
    have the <em>published</em> flag, which means it is subject to
    change without notice and should not be used outside the OpenOffice core.
    The current version is a draft and works only for English language
    locales. Future enhancements adding functionality for other locales
    should use the 'ordinal' RuleBasedNumberFormat of the ICU if
    possible, see
    http://icu.sourceforge.net/apiref/icu4c/classRuleBasedNumberFormat.html
    which might make it necessary to change the interface.
