Tabular Periods and Spaces

eolson

I'm chiseling away at rather large OT family that includes
Tabular figures as alternates to the standard proportional figures.
I've designed and included monetary symbols to fit with the
Tabular figures but it dawns on me that periods and spaces
should match too. Maybe...

Am I crazy? Periods are really common within a range of numbers.
For example:
4545.094598
3458394.9084

And as shown above, would throw off the tabular setting.
Is this reasonable with OT?
