That seems to be the best solution for me. Imagine you develop in Germany and
send your design to USA or make it open to everyone. In my opinion one should
always set LC_NUMERIC to POSIX in programs like that.

Well, is it guaranteed to be either ',' or '.' in all locales? IMHO whatever
locale we are in we should always save files in the same format, that means
using '.'.
