4// The <KPDL> key is a mess.
5// It was probably originally meant to be a decimal separator.
6// Except since it was declared by USA people it didn't use the original
7// SI separator "," but a "." (since then the USA managed to f-up the SI
8// by making "." an accepted alternative, but standards still use "," as
9// default)
10// As a result users of SI-abiding countries expect either a "." or a ","
11// or a "decimal_separator" which may or may not be translated in one of the
12// above depending on applications.
13// It's not possible to define a default per-country since user expectations
14// depend on the conflicting choices of their most-used applications,
15// operating system, etc. Therefore it needs to be a configuration setting

90// Spreadsheets may be configured to use the dot as decimal
91// punctuation, comma as a thousands separator and then semi-colon as
92// the list separator. Of these, dot and semi-colon is most important
93// when entering data by the keyboard; the comma can then be inferred
94// and added to the presentation afterwards. Using semi-colon as a
95// general separator may in fact be preferred to avoid ambiguities
96// in data files. Most times a decimal separator is hard-coded, it
97// seems to be period, probably since this is the syntax used in
98// (most) programming languages.
