The comma will the the *norm* for anything that gets translated with
xslt in a locale that just prints them out that way.

Right now Miika goes to insane lengths to format things with a decimal
point. All of that is just wasted effort. And we can't warn about the
commas, because it would warn for perfectly fine data.
