// Here we check if the text field's value is a localized serialization of a
// number. If it is we set aValue to the de-localize value, but only if the
// localized value isn't also a valid floating-point number according to the
// HTML 5 spec:
// Here we need to de-localize any number typed in by the user. That is, we
// need to convert it from the number format of the user's language, region,
// etc. to the format that the HTML 5 spec defines to be a "valid
// floating-point number":
//
// http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/common-microsyntaxes.html#floating-point-numbers
//
// This is because content (and tests) expect us to avoid "normalizing" the
// number that the user types in if it's not necessary. (E.g. if the user
// types "2e2" then inputElement.value should be "2e2" and not "100".
// so that it can be parsed by functions like HTMLInputElement::
// StringToDecimal (the HTML-5-conforming parsing function) which don't know
// how to handle numbers that are formatted differently (for example, with
// non-ASCII digits, with grouping separator characters or with a decimal
// separator character other than '.').
//
// We need to be careful to avoid normalizing numbers that are already
// formatted for a locale that matches the format of HTML 5's "valid
// floating-point number" and have no grouping separator characters. (In
// other words we want to return the number as specified by the user, not the
// de-localized serialization, since the latter will normalize the value.)
// For example, if the user's locale is English and the user types in "2e2"
// then inputElement.value should be "2e2" and not "100". This is because
// content (and tests) expect us to avoid "normalizing" the number that the
// user types in if it's not necessary in order to make sure it conforms to
// HTML 5's "valid floating-point number" format.
//
// Note that we also need to be careful when trying to avoid normalization.
// For example, just because "1.234" _looks_ like a valid floating-point
// number according to the spec does not mean that it should be returned
// as-is. If the user's locale is German, then this represents the value
// 1234, not 1.234, so it still needs to be de-localized. Alternatively, if
// the user's locale is English and they type in "1,234" we _do_ need to
// normalize the number to "1234" because HTML 5's valid floating-point
// number format does not allow the ',' grouping separator. We can detect all
// the cases where we need to convert by seeing if the locale-specific
// parsing function understands the user input to mean the same thing as the
// HTML-5-conforming parsing function. If so, then we should return the value
// as-is to avoid normalization. Otherwise, we return the de-localized
// serialization.
