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 :)
