Number TVs should follow localized formats

The Number TVs incorrectly restrict input; they should allow for localized formats, OR you should be able to specify the desired number format you want on a per-TV basis.

h3. To Reproduce:

Create a Number TV Edit a resource using this TV Enter in a value, e.g. "1.000.000".

h3. Expected:

This should be legitimate for European locales. I.e. if there were a system setting where the thousands separator were stored, you could check for and allow multiple instances of this character to occur in any number field.

h3. Result

Validation Error.

Sorry, my book isn't finished yet, I go over this issue.

The mechanism used to process the TV utilizes integers and decimals only.

You may have to used a custom TV to handle the format.
