currency format for ar locale

[Georges MURR]

Hi,
The currency format for ar locale is defined as <pattern>¤ #,##0.00</pattern> which is in visual order. 

Usually application take the input in logical order and do the necessary processing before rendering the data. For example If I pass a string to the browser based on this pattern, the output is incorrect. The currency symbol is displayed to the right of the number instead of the left.
Any special reason why the pattern is defined this way?


Thanks.
