Perhaps that might be a solution?
That sounds like a glibc-specific extension. We'd break compatability with the other Unix platforms (incl. OS X) and Windows if we used it.
We should probably just write our own atof; it's not that hard and we have the opportunity of implementing precisely the grammar required by SVG for reals then.
