don't know if there is a consensus on this. My personal opinion: I
prefer a period regardless of the localization (in my case
Germany), as I see the character more as a structural character
than a decimal separator in the mathematical sense. </span><span

style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">As
far as I know, ISO 8601 allows both variants, a period and a
comma.</span><span lang="EN-US"

would therefore like to use a period when writing with asString.
When reading with fromString:, I would like to have a tolerance
that can handle both, periods and commas, as there is no
ambiguity. </span><br>

<div>Is there a consensus among those who use a non-English

The ANSI standard really did not address internationalization.</div>
