Decimal comma/point standard?

Hello people,

I thought I was fairly proficient in websearching, but I haven't found
a standard on how to
encode numerical values in an XML file in a standard way. XML docs do
specify character set encoding, but not a locale. So if I generate a
data file, should I use decimal commas or points?

Should I encode the locale in the document to ensure correct reading
of the values? Is there
some standard way to do this?

This probably doesn't belong to the XML issue in itself, but I suspect
this to be a fairly
popular problem.

Sorry if this is some FAQ - I haven't found it...

John
