[gdal-dev] RE Python ogr GetFieldAsString problem

To be pedantic, GetFieldAsString() does not truncate the value. The value is
truncated before, in the GML reader, when inserting the value from the GML as a
real value into the OGR real field.

> Is it because it also use a  GML reader?

The conversion from the XML content to the real value is done with a function
(CPLAtof()) that assumes dot as the decimal character, which is the correct
behaviour in that instance.

I guess you would have issues with most GML readers, that's why I'm a bit
hesitant into committing the patch.
