Hi,

Quick question.  KLocale::readNumber() assumes that scientific/exponential 
numbers will be be expressed like "-123E+23".  The initial sign and the digit 
set are localized but the E and its sign are not.  Is this correct, or are 
there locales that use a different symbol?

While I'm asking we also assume the sign should always be at the start of the 
number, are there any cultures where this is not the case?  For Money we allow 
it to be at the end or in parentheses so for normal numbers it seems a little 
strange not to.

In fact, any other known issues with localizing numbers?

Cheers!

John.
