Commodities initialization list

[Ngewi Fet]

Hello,
Could someone tell me difference between the smallest-fraction and
parts-per-unit in the default currencies XML?

I've been using the "smallest-fraction" (sf) entry for the fractions since
the file comments say "parts-per-unit" (ppu) is not used.
But there are some currencies where the smallest-fraction is 100, while the
parts-per-unit is 1 (and vice versa).

It doesn't seem to always be in agreement with the list here:
http://www.currency-iso.org/dam/downloads/lists/list_one.xml
e.g. for XAF,  ppu is 1, while sf is 100 and the official list says
fractional digits is 0 (which means agreement with ppu).

Is the currencies XML file in the repo up-to-date?

Thanks
Ngewi F.
