No one said it did. And the above doesn't imply it would.

Because the decimal separator of your locale doesn't occur in the string, and
the '.' may either be an en_US decimal separator, which is taken in this case,
or a group separator of your locale. That's a weakness of the current
algorithm, which is used for both, HTML and RTF, the implementation is in
sc/source/filter/rtf/eeimpars.cxx r1.12 lines 389-429.

Which evaluating the \lang# tags present in RTF and parsing values accordingly
would do, as long as the document language or language of a text portion is set
correctly.
