There's no text in the documentation about what that means, but it sounds very important to understand in order to not run into trouble. Does someone know what that is all about the "significant digits" of a number?

See here for a nice tutorial on significant digits. Very simple explanation would be: the number of digits that are used for calculations within your app.

So when I use the formatter only for displaying, I don't have to care about minimumSignificantDigits or maximumSignificantDigits?

Correct, that is my understanding.
