As the person who closed the ticket, your mail here indicates that I may have 
been too harsh, and I apologize for that. I would like to assure you that your 
intentions appear good, and your proposal was rejected purely on technical 
reasons, mostly according to the documentation of USE_THOUSAND_SEPARATOR and 
USE_L10N.

However, having looked again, I now think that you do have a case -- while for 
the settings you pointed to, the documentation strongly implies the current 
behavior, the documentation for NUMBER_GROUPING and THOUSAND_SEPARATOR does 
support your interpretation (and in your first message you mentioned having set 
NUMBER_GROUPING=3). For both these settings, the documentation says:

        Note that if USE_L10N is set to True, then the locale-dictated format 
has
        higher precedence and will be applied instead.

So -- to me, it looks like the documentation is not entirely consistent, and 
should be clarified; and while changing the behavior would be problematic, 
changing it to match (some) documentation should be a possibility.

I'm waiting for other opinions -- in particular, anyone involved with the 
introduction of these settings, who can explain the original intentions -- to 
decide if we should reopen the ticket[1] as is or change it to a documentation 
ticket.

Shai.
