Nope, comma's never been part of a number in CF... It uses US formatted numbers (as far as I'm aware), but discluding commas. I believe this is a pretty standard format for numbers in computing languages... But because humans like to format their numbers we have LSParseNumber() and LSParseCurrency() to convert user-provided values with commas and such into machine numbers with the appropriate format for CF to treat them as numeric values. I don't use LSParseNumber() or LSParseCurrency() myself as I don't prefer to rely on CF's localization features, partly because they don't allow you to override the default locale without _setting_ the default locale using SetLocale() so I implemented my own localization methods using Java which accept the locale as an optional argument with a request-based default.
