Nice idea - I found this when I thought about an in-line currency converter to help evaluating prices.

One bug makes it unusable for me though, it parses, for example 8,999 as 8.999, e.g. eight-thousand nine hundred ninety nine as eight point 9.

It would seem that if I go about writing a currency converter program, I know about different punctuation preferences in different languages. In the USA the comma separates thousands, the point the decimal places. And in the EU it's the other way around. Not a super-easy problem but it should be obvious that - for example - it's very unlikely a price would be listed with three digit precision.
