The world is stranger than you think...

(One of my favourite gripes is the used of localized decimal separators 
in .csv files, which used to be a perfectly well-defined data format, 
but is now nonportable across locales. Or even between programs on the 
same machine: AFAIR, SAS reads and writes the US format in all locales, 
and SPSS uses the local format...)
