FTR, while I was looking for a confirmation I was correct, I found
another rule I never heard about: a space (a narrow non-breaking spaceto
be exact) is used to separate thousands, but only when the number is a
quantity (like "12 345 croissants"). But when the number represents an
index, there should be no separator (like "croissant n°12345").

Languages are full of curious details :)
