I did a private extension to DT_Var.py which incorporates 
the modifier "german-money", which returns 
1 234,5 for 1234.5 
Just because I needed it.

I did not mention it to the group since I want a much cleaner and more
general approach for supporting multiple languages.
I dont think we could handle this with locale, since the actual page
could be in a different language.
