Just to add to what Clemens wrote, you would at least need ways of doing 
comma-separation for thousands, dot-separation for thousands, and 
space-separator for thousands.  Between them, those cover the USA, Canada, and 
all countries in the EU.  If you post

2,257,322,372

to someone in, for example, Denmark, they’ll thing it’s four different numbers.
