Sorry - I might have not stressed out the circumstances clearly:

The problem -- as previously noted [Leonardo Couto  wrote on 2008-11-17]
-- is that in ABNT2 (or in "some" ABNT2 - even if this shouldn't be
possible, right?) we have BOTH keys: the coma [,] and the dot [.].

So, even if we do use comas as decimal separator in pt_BR I guess one
could expect -- since we have both keys -- that [.] act like [.] and [,]
as [,] ;).  Even because we do (or some of us at least) use dots as
thousands separator, so it's good to have it at hand when typing big
figures.

Furthermore, as mentioned, they actually already do work as expected
(coma-coma, dot-dot) in most -- if not all -- applications, except for
OpenOffice.

The layout showing both keys was attached by Leonardo Couto and could be
