It is well known that locales vary in how numbers are formatted. en_US 123.45 fr_FR 123,45 Does this extend to the technical and scientific community? Would the French user of a device prefer to see 5,5 or 5.5 when representing volts or degrees centigrade? A quick survey of web sites in the .fr domain shows both representations are used. What is the best use for the French customer. Also, do technical and scientific users want to see thousand separators? -paul
