I support the request of DaB. Although there is a ISO norm stating a point
should not be used, this norm is almost never applied to electronic media
because the corresponding German DIN norms state that a small space should be
used. This character can't be displayed correctly by almost non web browser or
other software on the market resulting in the usage of the point as delimiter
for thousands. Even Microsoft uses the point as delimiter for German regional
settings in their latest OS Windows Vista. So German Wikipedia advised to use
the point as delimiter due to the technical difficulties. Regarding this, the
change made in 18957 renders the second largest Wikipedia with about 920,000
articles to an unconsequent mixture of number formatting. Evenmore, 18957
didn't even use the by DIN proposed delimiter and introduces another "wrong"
attempt to fulfill the norm.
So I strongly suggest reverting 19857 or at least implement a mechanism
allowing each Wikipedia / site using MediaWiki to apply a custom number
formatting via system message or configuration option.

The discussion at
http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Fragen_zur_Wikipedia&oldid=61365468#Vorlagen.C3.A4nderung.3F
further suggests that the change has some unwished effects in sorting tables.
(I can reproduce the described error with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT
5.1; cs; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009060215 Firefox/3.0.11. Sorting was fine before
the change was made, the template [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorlage:Dts
Vorlage:dts] which needs the formatnum:-function wasn't changed.
Have a nice day,
Matthias
