You've used regexps to validate numbers in this patch, however they assume
that the only value number formats are (ignoring a leading -):

1234567 (integer)
1234567.89 (numeric)

However, this is only the standard in some countries - for example, a
French user might write a numeric as:

1 234 567,89

Even in India that might be written as:

12,34,567.89

In Germany:

1.234.567,89

The numeric inputs should be validated based on the client's locale.

Thanks.
