Ongoing complaints about problems in locales where the decimal

specified for .


Summary of *
change:

In all places where this is relevant, it should be explicitly stated

1 of 2

the for the purpose of this specification, only the dot (.), ASCII
code 0x2E, is allowed.
I agree that this is obvious, but it is always a good thing to be
able to refer to an explicit clause in the specification, when
complaints occur.

Consequences if Misunderstanding wil not diminish.
