There seems to be even one more parameter affecting the appearance of 
numbers: proportional (for running text) or monospaced (for tables). 
And, in that case, the setting name is apparently the same for all 
faces: "Number Spacing=Proportional Numbers" or "Number 
Spacing=Monospaced Numbers" (as seen from the Typography panel in 
TextEdit).

I heard about these possibilities through the account of Hoefler Text 
in the paper <http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/Articles/tb21-2/tb67tole.pdf> 
(brought to this list's attention by Musa Furber), focused on use of 
Hoefler with Omega but otherwise full of information regarding this 
font.
