Inconsistent RBNF Data?

Looking at the RBNF source can be hard to follow (especially for the more
complicated cases, even Italian is
quite complex).

Though I used my own program for testing nearly a decade ago when I worked
on this, there is now a public
web page (not made by me, but by the person that took over maintaining the
RBNF rules) for testing RBNFs:

http://st.unicode.org/cldr-apps/numbers.jsp

This is easier to follow than the rules themselves and can be used to find
errors and test fixes to the RBNF rules.
Note that the rules are in ICU format, not in the XML format found in CLDR.
You can edit the rules, and the
numbers to be used for testing.
