[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] The comma in the Swedish coordinate format should be a period (#2732)

[Tom Hughes]

Well I think we need to understand the issue first - the fact that another program can't parse it isn't in itself evidence that we are wrong, and I say that as a Gramps user myself...

If I understand correctly the claim being made is that, despite numbers generally being written with a comma as the decimal separator, for coordinates the decimal point is normally used, at least in Swedish and German? Does this hold more widely for other european countries that would normally use comma?

Or is the problem here that we'd using comma both as the decimal point and to separate the coordinates, thereby confusing programs like Gramps that try to parse a coordinate pair?
