Err, but that would mean that amount-numbers (those 85% or more) would have to 
be marked, and the default would be to do nothing with the number?

Somehow I cower before this. In principle, programmers could do something 
similar till now -- wrap number arguments with KLocale's formatNumber() 
method, to have them localized according to Control Center settings. And we 
all know how much this was used.

Admittedly, my original idea is a hammerhead. Sometimes it will bite 
programmers directly, forcing self-correction. It may also act 
preventively: "Wait a moment, I display a port number here, and that file 
size previously was by default showing with thousands separator. Hm..."
