Comment(by pramsey):

 I always go back to one of my examples from a project where the numbers
 were
 {{{
 4812.2321 12043.1234
 }}}
 Turns out the fields were DDMMM.MMM. Decimal minutes might well be a
 corner case not worth thinking about, but I think un-delimeted inputs is
 perhaps not as rare as one might think.
 {{{
 481232.132 1202314.123
 }}}
 DDMMSS.SSS seems like a very likely format to see in the wild.

 Interested to see what others think. Pleasing everyone is definitely not
 an option on a task with so much potential variation.
