It's not mandatory.

I should have added more words to ChangeLog.  This change is only for UI.  HTML parsing and DOM property access are not affected.

I saw several requests for localized numbers for <input type=number>, I haven't seen any objections, and I believe we should support them.

CFNumberFormatter looks enough.  Thank you.
