[Bug 18261] This needs to have a locale attribute so that teh "valid floating point number" can be parsed properly for the locale. (eg. "en-US" would have 12345.67 and "de-DE" would have 12345,67)

Status: Rejected
Change Description: No spec change.
Rationale: As Ian said in bug 17635 comment 2,

> The idea is that the on-the-wire format is not locale-specific but
> always in an unambiguous globally machine-readable format defined
> basically by ISO. The UI can be locale-specific, but that's up to the
> UA.

> (There's a separate bug about allowing the page to request specific
> locales' UIs, but that's different.)
