I assume, that both "." and "," are valid seperators - even in the german page of Wikipedia BOTH characters are mentioned ...

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

Is there a consensus among those who use a non-English locale how DateAndTime instances should print the decimal point in the seconds portion and how DateAndTime class>>#fromString: should parse it?
