These are by far the best references I've seen to date. Thanks!
Very interesting that Ukrainian has a special rule for fractional
values vs. integers.
One more interesting case to note (it is not reflected in the CLDR
rules yet, we are in the midst of enhancing the rule syntax to support
this) is: For French, all real values of x for 0 <= x < 2 take the
"one" form. So some decimal fractions in French (e.g. the ones
represented in English as 0.3, 1.3) take the "one" form while others
(e.g. 2.3, 3.3) take the "other" form.
