--- Comment #2 from Rafal Luzynski <digitalfreak at lingonborough dot com> ---
Patch is not needed unless you want to see your name in the changelog and in
the commit log. :-) There was a little discussion in bug 21614 (yes,
incorrectly placed) about the correct value of thousands_sep and
mon_thousands_sep. In short:
* currently thousands_sep is empty and mon_thousands_sep is a narrow no-break
space,
* in this report it has been said that thousands_sep should be a single dot,
* nothing has been said about mon_thousands_sep, is it correct now?
It seems to me that some people prefer a space, some prefer a dot. CLDR which
is our authoritative source says it should be a dot but it is not clear to me
whether the dot should be applied to mon_thousands_sep (monetary format) or
thousands_sep (other numeric formats) or maybe both. Is there a context where
a space (especially a narrow no-break space) would be preferred?
