I don't know. Could you give some supporting argumentation, please? Is it really that hard to read for the Americans without the commas? It is at least harder to read for me as an European - we don't have any commas in there, just spaces (if anything at all). Besides, the number is usually not in higher order than thousands, so... why is it worth it?
