Unit Intervals

Dealing with similar problem right now, I'd note 
that "interval" would primarily mean a pair 
"startvalue, endvalue" with some formatting to 
it. That formatting isn't even "widely" cultural 
tradition, but "narrow" typographic convention, 
with possibly quite extensive definition, 
subject to change. E.g., for numbers intervals 
in Russian language typography, there are "..." 
and "--" (U+2013) and "---" (U+2014); of course, 
the "-" (dash) is commonly used; formerly, the 
U+00F7 was prescribed; in maths related text 
you'd meet ":" and ", ... ,;"; in bastardised 
"computer spelling" -- ".." (two dots). And it 
is context related, too (U+2013 for dates, 
U+2014 or ellipsis for numbers).

How to formalise all this into CLDR? Or I may 
have misunderstood you completely :)
