Hi,

I noticed a little but annoying feature with the AbstractNumberConverter.

There are 16 european locales in the world where thousands-separator is space (like "1 000 000,20" when that would be "1,000,000.20" in US or "1.000.000,20" in some other countries). To make things a little bit more fun, the wise people at the unicode consortium has decided to not use the space there, but there is another character for that (  also known as NO-BREAK SPACE.) It seems at least firefox breaks this character when doing a roundtrip on a web form, and so the character sent back to the server is normal space. Space is not valid separator char for java.text.NumberFormat..

This could be fixed in wicket, but what do you think, should we?

Here is a list of all the locales this little thing breaks;
be_BY
bg_BG
cs_CZ
et_EE
fi_FI
fr_CA
fr_FR
fr_LU
hu_HU
lv_LV
no_NO
no_NO_NY
pl_PL
ru_RU
sk_SK
sv_SE
