As quoted from "Smith, Michael ERDC-RDE-CRREL-NH" <Michael.Smith at erdc.dren.mil>:

Easiest to read is from RELAX NG:

  http://books.xmlschemata.org/relaxng/ch19-77095.html

  "Restrictions
  The decimal separator is always a point (.), and no thousands separator may be added."

For the gory details, see:

  http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema11-2/#nt-floatRep

So if the WFS request contains a comma (,) as decimal separator, that's wrong.
