Conversion from localized numbers to HTML numbers should accept not only localized numbers but also HTML numbers

Conversion from localized numbers to HTML numbers should accept not only localized numbers but also HTML numbers.

For example, A French user needs to specify a number to a number input field. He might use a local decimal point, like 3,141592, or he might use the standard decimal point like 3.141592. We had better accept both of them.

We accepted both last year, but we changed the behavior so that we accept only localized numbers because of user confusion of a localized group separator and the standard decimal point, or a localized decimal point and the standard group separator. Now we introduce a simple rule that we don't accept group separator at all. So users won't confuse even if we accept both of decimal points.

You might want to test all of '1', '1.23' and '1,23' for each input.
