This is part of what Erratum E10 clarifies, as I read it.
http://www.w3.org/1999/11/REC-xslt-19991116-errata#E10
I think the erratum is trying to say that you never inherit settings from
the locale; that decimal-separator is '.' worldwide if not specified.
Therefore the list is initialized by the 10 default values given in
Section 12.3 of the XSLT spec.
