I agree that there should be no reason do convert the ISO 8859-6
decimal digits to the Unicode Arabic-Indic digits.  I don't know where
this curious data might actually be coming from, since most of our
data comes from the Unicode Consortium's web site's legacy mapping
data, and there it's simple a business of 0x31 -> 0x00031.  Thanks for
the catch.

I wonder where they came from, too. I think it slipped in when Encode switched from Tcl-based .enc to .ucm. I will check ICU and regen ISO-8859-X and release Encode 1.95 as soon as I can because I consider this rather severe.
