Research direction
Review the Unicode CLDR number padding specification at http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35 numbers.html. Examine the existing number formatting code in globalize, likely in 'src/number.js' or similar, to understand how number patterns are parsed and rendered. Implement padding support by extending pattern parsing to handle the padding specifier and adjust formatting accordingly. Look at existing tests for number formatting to add corresponding tests for padding.
