That is precisely how it should work, you interpret the spec correctly there.
If a user wants decimal point behavior, he should use format-number instead.

Wikipedia has a nice list as well:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_mark#Digit_grouping. Some grouping
mentioned there is not easy to express, even with the current rules.

I agree that changing the rules here apparently means breaking other supported
behaviors / locales. Guess that phone-number formatting, as Benito found, has
to be done in a different way then (I don't see a way to express it with merely
format-integer).
