QIF Import: reasonable assumptions?

[Derek Atkins]

I'm trying to decide if I can make a reasonable assumption: is it
reasonable to assume that a QIF file will use the same format/notation
for all numeric values?  What I mean is that some locales use decimal
notation (comma is a group separator and period is the decimal
separator) and some locales use comma notation (period is a group
separator and comman is the decimal separator).  Is it reasonable
to assume that ALL numerics will be in the same format?

I'm asking because I'd like to make a generic "determine numeric
format" and "determine date format"..  But I don't want to have to
expose all the possible numerics separately.  I will if I have to, but
I'd prefer not to if I can avoid it.
