You might be interested to know that in India, the commas don't come every 3 digits. In india, they come every two digits, after the first three. Thus one billion = 1,00,00,00,000. How are you gonna represent that in a formatting mini-language? :)
We outsource it. Send the number by email to a service centre in India, where an employee formats it for us and sends it back.
