The way the spec is worded, it sounds like the format is based on the language
of the evaluating environment, not the document.  Perhaps like how Excel
handles number separators in Windows at least, using the system settings.

If the document has a language somewhere, I think POI should at least offer an
option to use it, though, since I know I often don't do any checking or setting
of the default language in Java, and other users probably don't either.  I can
see some applications offering a user language preference choices, and
controlling display formatting based on that, however, so that may be the
desired behavior.

Perhaps a formatter flag for "use document language if present" or something,
defaulting to Java system language?
