      Many of the bson_as_json visitor functions delegate the work of converting a non-string value to a string to printf (by way of bson_string_append_printf). In certain locales, printf can return strings where a number with a floating point uses a comma instead of a period:

      { "value" : { "$numberDouble" : "1,1000000000000000888" } }

      JSON does not accept comma separators in numeric types, only decimal point separators.
