Iostreams aside: You're absolutely right with the trashfire.
I live in a country where the elders of the language decided that we don't format floating point numbers with a decimal point but use a decimal komma instead.
So PI is not 3.14 but 3,14 instead.
Just imagine what pain you have to go through if you want to parse a .csv file written by an application that "tried to do everything right and use locale".
