I read this a few times and am having difficulty determining what is being 
requested/stated

the LC_NUMERIC category controls

        decimal_point -- the decimal radix character
        grouping -- tousands_sep grouping formula
        thousands_sep -- the thousands separator character

the default values for a few locales:

LC_NUMERIC=C
        decimal_point="."
        grouping=""
        thousands_sep=""

LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8
        decimal_point="."
        grouping="\003\003"
        thousands_sep=","

LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.UTF-8
        decimal_point=","
        grouping="\003\003"
        thousands_sep="."

can you please rephrase and/or clarify the synopsis with respect to the above 
terminology

in particular, for the LC_NUMERIC category:

-- what does "delimiter" mean?
-- what does it mean to support other locales when LC_NUMERIC=C is fixed?

thanks
