When received and processed in a transition, these field's values will be treated as if in user's locale, so this change is required for a DB roundtrip through the browser to work smoothly. This solves the server part of #49
It affects the value of hidden fields and options, as well as the current value in drop-down fields. The developer should, however, be locale aware if using the expandable key and text attributes of tags like entity-option and list-option, adding "${ec.l10n.format(keyName, null)} instead of just "${keyName}" for the code to work using a locale with comma as decimal separator. Making this aspect transparent to the developer would require to modify the behavior of ResourceFacade.expand(...) to make the transformation into the locale-aware format, which could affect other uses of that method.
