Limitations and assumptions

  • Formatting choices can be locale-, platform-, or convention-dependent. Currency symbols, decimal separators, byte bases, duration rounding, file permissions, padding, and mixed-unit signs can make the same display ambiguous if context is omitted.
  • Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Alternative or Complementary approaches

Keep the machine-readable source value and unit separately, specify locale and rounding, and round-trip or parse-test output when another system will consume it.
