True.  I mildly prefer "№" but it's not worth the aggravation to others so I 
changed it back to "No." in the experimental version (see attached patch).

This isn't simply an undo: if we combine the last two patches (see the attached 
combined patch) some instances of "Number", "[Number]", "Nº", "no.", etc. have 
been changed to "No.", so the usage is more consistent now.  I was particularly 
bugged by the "Nº", as the masculine ordinal indicator is a solecism here.
