I18n Issues

The formatOptions argument is essentially a locale dictionary with things like a decimal separator. Be careful to ensure these options are set according to user locale.

Generally one needs to pass in locale, encoding or language to ensure that any culture-dependent conversion is done properly. If you determine that the call is i18n-safe, you can use Globalyzer's Ignore Comment functionality to ensure that it isn't picked up in a subsequent scan.
