Is that mandated by HTML5? The bug needs to explain where this "should" comes from. <http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/common-microsyntaxes.html#rules-for-parsing-floating-point-number-values> in particular is not localization aware.

ICU is not an officially supported API on Mac OS X, so ICU headers aren't shipped with it. When really needed, we copy an appropriate version of a particular ICU header to our repository. I'm not sure if this is one of those cases, or we should just use CFNumberFormatter API.
