 On
 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_mark#Countries_using_Arabic_numerals_with_decimal_comma
 some PHP locales], comma is used as a decimal separator.

 This creates visual problems with plugin ratings and tag cloud on Install
 Plugins screen (see the screenshot).

 Browser fails to handle `font-size` attributes with commas properly, as
 CSS specification only supports decimal point as a separator:
 http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#length-units

 To reproduce, add this to `wp-config.php`:
 {{{
 setlocale(LC_ALL, 'fr_FR');
 }}}
 `unserialize()` in `plugins_api()` would then return values with commas,
 even if WP.org API returns them with points:

 install.php#L48
