Should we move to a US locale for the conversion? (probably a bit slow). I think using the locale is a feature, not a bug. If people choose to use locales we should not try to force an arbitrary locale onto them.
Due to the fact that we have to write a scanner that analyzes the tokens, and recognizes floating point numbers, we can't support locales. Zeev -- Zeev Suraski <zeev@zend.com> http://www.zend.com/
