Many ICU APIs produce structured output (sentences or phrases) rather than single phrases. Many of these not only may need to inflect in interesting ways to support being inserted into a message, but have individual components that affect each others' inflections. Examples include:

  • Formatted dates
  • Date ranges
  • Spelled-out numbers
  • Dimensioned numbers
  • Lists
  • Person names
  • Locale names

It'd be nice if we could use the new inflection capability to improve and simplify the formatting algorithms for these things.
