That's an interesting idea, and arguably one that's more in line with what PHP has been doing. I'd be really interested to hear from people in countries where the decimal separator is a comma, since I don't have any experience with this myself as an Anglophone — do you run PHP in your native locale, and if so, would it be better to always have dots, as Nikita suggests, or support parsing numbers with commas?
