Great. For legacy reasons it would probably be useful for locale 
confused people/organisations to have an environment variable they can 
set if they want to circumvent the default setting.

I am also in favor of adding a "Select decimal and thousands separator" 
prompt for paste special/import action.

My primary concern for Danish and all other locales affected is the 
default behavior.

The default behavior should always respect the locale setting. Period.

Charles, as NLC lead don't you agree?
