Not everywhere - there are many different standards about how to write the result of say 15707963/500 =
a) 31415.926 b) 31,415.926 c) 31.415,926 d) 31 415,926 etc.
All depending on the country where the one who writes it lives.
* Hovewer for the /proc interface I think that a) is * * JUST FINE *

PS. My country uses d).
PPS. And the formatting of the fractional part differs too ...
