The international standard (ISO 31-0:1992) says (Section 3.3.1, page 11): "To facilitate the reading of numbers with many digits, these may be separated into suitable groups, preferable of three, counting from the decimal sign toward the left and the right; the groups should be separated by a small space, and never by a comma or a point, nor by any other means."
