Internationalization (was RE: Euro currency sign)

There's another issue... that of local presentation which is sepatate 
from Content-Language.

For instance, numbers are shown in some locations as "1.000,12" and in 
others as "1,000.12". Date and time formats also have regional 
differences that are independent of language: "MM/DD/YY", "DD-MM-YY" or 
even "YY-MM-DD" and various other combinations.

How to handle this is another matter (and perhaps for XML rather than 
HTML).
