[Glass] DateAndTime string representation

[Marten Feldtmann]

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

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. As far as I know, ISO 8601 allows both variants, a period and a comma. I 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.
