Looking back at this again, I think having the number
formatted according to the US Locale would be more
confusing than by the default Locale, speaking without
the perspective of a person who typically uses e.g. .
as a thousands separator and , as a decimal separator.
If it were up to me I'd mark this issue INVALID and
be done with it. Maybe we should vote on it, though,
since again, I'm in the minority as a US-based Ant
team member (am I the only active US member?).
