--- Comment #15 from François Gouget  ---
* In French the thousands separator is a non-breaking space.
* When sThousand is a non-breaking space, regular spaces are also treated as
thousands separators.
* Furthermore VarParseNumFromStr() does not require thousands separators to
follow a neat three digits pattern. So in English "1,000" is handled the same
as "100,0" or even ",10,,00", etc.
See where this is going?

In French, when parsed with NUMPRS_THOUSANDS, " 10 6" is identical to "106".
(and in English ",10,6" == "106")
I will send a patch shortly.
