I am perfectly aware of that; I wasn't attempting to debate localization at all. I was simply
recommending that maybe, just maybe, there should be different validators for what I'd call a
"locale aware non-floating point number" and what PHP considers and integer.

Jason,
But when you have a german user then he will enter "1.000,50"
Your server is configured to english and accepts only "1,000.50"
So whatever your user enters, it does not validate because you expect
always english regardless of what the user really does and where he lives.
Your expectation of "native integer" does not work when you have a
application which is accessed from users all around the world.

Well, I don't think that should apply, though.
Validate_Int implies that you are validating to the native int
datatype, not a currency. Perhaps some of this functionallity should
be split into a Zend_Validate_Currency.

Well in GB one thousand is 1,000 and the floating point is a dot
(0.20ct). In The Netherlands it's exactly the opposite: €10.000,00 is
correct. So where 1.000 in GB is *not* an integer, in The Netherlands it
is.
