Processing Digit Variants

European digits (U+0030 to U+0039) may, since Unicode 6.1.0, be used
with variation selectors. As their primary purpose is for use with
u+20E3 COMBINING ENCLOSING KEYCAP, is it legitimate to fail to
recognise strings of digits with variation selectors as representing
numbers?

If not, it seems that I will have to raise this as an issue for LDML,
as it affects parsing and collation with the numeric tailoring.
