You are absolutely right, expat just feeds me const char data, my fault, 
I apologize.

Anyway, according to XML schema, only dots are allowed as decimal 
separators:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#decimal

So it might be better to take the conservative approach, at least for 
the moment,
and to forget about commas and other locale-defined separators and do 
everything
with decimal points... simple and consistent...
