Hello! I cloned my bug report from QLandkarte to qt4-x11, because the change between qt4.3 and qt4.4 might affect other packets as well.
In my view XML might get used in the following two use-cases: 1. When using XML as a "display-format" (like XHTML), serializing doubles with locale support is probably fine. 2. When using XML as a "portable storage format", serializing doubles with locale support is stupid, because now you need the information, which locale is to be used. (xml:lang?) "1.000" can be interpreted as 1 in en_US with '.' as the decimal point, or as 1000 in de_DE with '.' as the thousands separator. For example, XML-Schema explicitly specifies to use a 'period': http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xmlschema-2-20041028/datatypes.html#decimal http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xmlschema-2-20041028/datatypes.html#double I still don't know if this is a bug in the implementation or the documentation. Either fix the implementation or put a big fat warning in the documentation, that QDomElement::setAttribute(double) is locale dependent and shouldn't be used for use-case 2.
