Comment (by Claude Paroz):
On the pull request, there's a discussion between @kappataumu and @spapas,
and they disagreement between various usages.
Tim said the space was used in
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_mark#Examples_of_use.
Extract of this same page:
`Because of the confusion that could result in international documents, in
recent years the use of spaces as separators has been advocated by the
superseded SI/ISO 31-0 standard,[17] as well as by the International
Bureau of Weights and Measures and the International Union of Pure and
Applied Chemistry, which have also begun advocating the use of a "thin
space" in "groups of three".`
The el_GR POSIX locale and the Unicode CLDR use the dot.

http://www.unicode.org/cldr/charts/29/summary/el.html#3616
If I should decide, I think I'd choose the traditional/official dot
character. Of course, it would be better to reach some agreement between
Greek nationals.
