// The <KPDL> key is a mess.
// It was probably originally meant to be a decimal separator.
// Except since it was declared by USA people it didn't use the original
// SI separator "," but a "." (since then the USA managed to f-up the SI
// by making "." an accepted alternative, but standards still use "," as
// default)
// As a result users of SI-abiding countries expect either a "." or a ","
// or a "decimal_separator" which may or may not be translated in one of the
// above depending on applications.
// It's not possible to define a default per-country since user expectations
// depend on the conflicting choices of their most-used applications,
// operating system, etc. Therefore it needs to be a configuration setting

// Spreadsheets may be configured to use the dot as decimal
// punctuation, comma as a thousands separator and then semi-colon as
// the list separator. Of these, dot and semi-colon is most important
// when entering data by the keyboard; the comma can then be inferred
// and added to the presentation afterwards. Using semi-colon as a
// general separator may in fact be preferred to avoid ambiguities
// in data files. Most times a decimal separator is hard-coded, it
// seems to be period, probably since this is the syntax used in
// (most) programming languages.
