      For 5.19.2 ARABIC:

      Remove from Portable Constraints:

      Add Constraint:
      X must only contain Roman numerals, or an empty string.

      In Semantics:

      Remove the sentence
      The symbols V, L and D may not be followed by a symbol of greater or equal value.

      Change
      The following identity holds ...
      to
      The following identity shall hold ...

      Add:
      If X is an empty string, 0 is returned.

      [rationale for empty string: that is what ROMAN produces for 0]

      For 5.19.17 ROMAN:

      Change Portable Constraint
      from
      N>=1
      to

      [rationale: Excel, Gnumeric, OOo and KSpread return an empty string for 0]

      Description

      It's unclear in the spec (5.19.2) whether "non-traditional" roman numerals are supported as input strings. For example, are things like IIIV or IIVI expected to work? The spec needs more detail here.
