Are you sure?  That seems to be something that the application will decide, 
but there is the so called "digits" layouts that use the Hindi numerals.  So, 
at the moment, we really should fix those numbers (I'm not sure what the 
codes are for them though, but I will try to find out).  And when 
applications start changing the numbers based on context, users should just 
switch to the "basic" layout and let the applications deal with them.
