I think Japan also has another system, IIRC blocks of four, I don't recall the details.
One of the things we might want to do for v3 is make it possible to specify the locale within Beancount itself (insulating it from its environment) and perhaps bring back the checks (simply removing the commas works). OTOH, right now we don't support decimal commas. Ideally we support all this in v3.
