Why not? We accept localized numbers which also include number separators and so on.

This is really long-standing behavior, but I always thought Firefox's behavior was more reasonable than Chrome's.

This is not a layout issue. Layout renders whatever the DOM value is. The fix for this bug if we want to fix it is in DOM :)
