@liamquin Falling back to decimal is far less disruptive than reporting an error. From the reader's perspective, decimal might look odd in certain context, but is fine: no information is lost. Error messages might be useful for authors, but not for readers--they are useless to harmful for readers: the reader doesn't care to see the message, but if it takes up unexpected amounts of space, then it disrupts the layout. As for why decimal, European numbers are practically universal these days. And as @frivoal writes, it's important for interop that we do not depend on OS language. -- GitHub Notification of comment by fantasai Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2479#issuecomment-377337993 using your GitHub account
