<resend>I had the wrong jitterbug URL</resend> See: http://www.jtcsv.com/cgibin/icu-bugs?findid=3089 For ICU 3.0 I am modifying the DecimalFormat parser so that it enforces the rule that special characters must be quoted in the prefix and suffix. Example: 000.000|### This pattern was accepted by ICU <= 2.8, but will be rejected by ICU >= 3.0. The following equivalent pattern is accepted by all versions of ICU: 000.000'|###' Previous versions of ICU were inconsistent in their application of this rule. Applies to: ICU4C 3.0, ICU4J 3.0. Please respond with inquiries, comments, suggestions, or requests to this mailing list.
