Hi,

I would concentrate on configuring your Oracle and Mapserver so that GML
from the WFS service would use point as a decimal separator instead of
comma. I do not know exactly what needs to be done but I would startby
reading a whole lot about NLS_LANG beginning from
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/globalization/nls-lang-099431.html.

(I have been reading Mapserver-users mails so I know a bit about the
environment).
