Whitespace actually may be quite good list separator.  But using
commas in numbers is too confusing, there are too many conventions
used when printing numbers.  My favorite is underscore for grouping,
1_000.005 has only one sensible meaning, while 1.000,005 and 1,000.005
can be easily confused.

Unlike other parts of language number formatting have tendency to
leak to people different than developers.
