Can the order in which properties are read be more comprehensible?

https://github.com/tc39/proposal-intl-numberformat-v3/issues/122 pointed out some issues with the order in which NumberFormat reads and reports fields, but those issues exist across ECMA-402 (e.g., https://github.com/tc39/ecma402/pull/709#issuecomment-1382907829 ). We should strive to determine and document guidelines, also changing existing facilities if web-compatible.

Conclusion:

  • Pursue guidelines and spec patterns that can be easily checked against the guidelines
  • Backport those patterns in editorial changes to existing APIs
  • Consider normative changes to existing APIs
