Inconsistent RBNF Data?

Fri Nov 11 03:53:58 CST 2016

Basically the needed changes are there for French ordinals:

[...]
  %%spellout-ordinal:
[...]
- 200: <%spellout-cardinal-masculine< cent>%%cents-o>;
+ 200: <%spellout-cardinal-masculine<-cent>%%cents-o>;
  1000: mill>%%mille-o>;
- 2000: <%%spellout-leading< mill>%%mille-o>;
+ 2000: <%%spellout-leading<-mill>%%mille-o>;
- 1000000: <%%spellout-leading< million>%%cents-o>;
+ 1000000: <%%spellout-leading<-million>%%cents-o>;
- 1000000000: <%%spellout-leading< milliard>%%cents-o>;
+ 1000000000: <%%spellout-leading<-milliard>%%cents-o>;
- 1000000000000: <%%spellout-leading< billion>%%cents-o>;
+ 1000000000000: <%%spellout-leading<-billion>%%cents-o>;
- 1000000000000000: <%%spellout-leading< billiard>%%cents-o>;
- 1000000000000000: <%%spellout-leading<-billiard>%%cents-o>;
  1000000000000000000: =#,##0=;
