Talking for myself: Yes, the essential case is for round-tripping .csv in and
then out of OpenOffice, and retaining the decimal point of the original.

Ideally, the read and written .csv file should be identical if no chances are
made. This will be very hard to guarantee, but my suggestion for enhancement
would (as I see it) retain the decimal point of the original AND have the
positive side effect that dates are would also be more likely to retain their
format, since they would be written with the same language assumptions as they
were read with.
