I'm confused.

Yes, different conventions exist (in this case the thread drifted to bugs based on locales, so obviously we're talking about different conventions here). I .. don't understand what you're saying.

(and my original post is missing an asterisk in two places, as in 1?000 as OCR result for example - messed up the formatting in the middle of the night)

Sorry - my point was counter to your about DE, FR and IT having the same conventions, so it's odd CH doesn't too. They all use the same currency, whereas CH doesn't, hence why there'd be a different one (?). E.g. we use £1,000.00 in the UK.

DE, FR and IT have the same currency only the last 15 years or so. One would expect that they would be using the same conventions because of the history and relationships between CH and all of these countries.
