Research direction
Locate the number-reading rules for Greek and Norwegian and check how decimal and thousand separators are classified. Reproduce the reported MathML example with 5.0, then adjust the relevant rule so it is spoken as “5 dot 0” under the stated separator conditions. Done means the example and equivalent cases no longer read the period as a decimal separator.

Description
In most European languages, comma is the correct decimal separator. However, sometimes people still use a period.
An example: For both Greek and Norwegian, the number <mn>5.0</mn> is read as "50". It would be better to have it read as "5 dot 0".
Would it be possible to change the rules, such that for languages using
- comma as the decimal separator
- space as the thousand separator (and not period)
a number with a period would be read literal? Like "5 dot 0".
