I18n Issues

Locale is not passed to correctly interpret decimal separator. Use method variant that passes in 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.
