# Do you have any suggestions for how to say numbers, for example, should
# a six or seven digit number without commas be spoken like "one million
# two hundred and thirty four thousand five hundred and sixty seven"
# (which is rather cumbersome), or as individual digits, or like a
# telephone number with the digits spoken in pairs?

This should probably be optional if at all possible.  Although a number
with dashes like 800-555-8355 should probably be pronounced as a phone
number rather than as individual groups of numbers separated by dashes.

HTH,
Lorenzo
