Alrighty I think the subtlety here is that:
String.format("%.2f", foo)
... will format numbers in a locale-specific way. I think we need:
String.format(Locale.ENGLISH, "%.2f", foo)
(Sorry to be English-centric, but we have to pick one locale in order
to guarantee behavior, and this seems the most reasonable default.)
Thoughts, dev?
