Nothing in the MathML specification assumes that <cn>3.1416</cn> is rendered as 3.1416. if a system renders it as 3,1416 then that os perfectly conformant. As would be an input document that used <cn>3,1416</cn> Note that it's fairly easy to do this kind of change while displaying from mathml markup as each number is explictly tagged for example if you are using xsl to style your mathml you'd just add <xsl:template match="m:cn"><xsl:value-of select="translate(.,'.',',')"/></xsl:template> It is much harder to cope with such presentational differences if numbers are just part of an unmarked up text stream.
