Input of type number does not accept commas, only periods

Reported by kai.no...@gmail.com, Dec 10 2017 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.94 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Go to a site with <input type="number"> https://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_input_number
2. Change your keyboard to non-English, e.g. German, since then the Keypad period will be a comma (!)
3. Try to enter a float number. Does not work, the comma is not accepted, you can only enter integers.

What is the expected behavior?
Allow the input of comma and period.

What went wrong?
Usability

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 62.0.3202.94  Channel: n/a

Able to reproduce this issue on Win-10 and Ubuntu 14.04 using chrome reported version #62.0.3202.94 and latest canary #65.0.3291.0.
Issue is not seen in OS-Mac.
This is a non-regression issue as it is observed from M50 old builds. 

Hence, marking it as untriaged to get more inputs from dev team.

Thanks...!!

Probably this is working as specified, per HTML:
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/input.html#number-state-(type=number)
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/common-microsyntaxes.html#valid-floating-point-number

So the problem is in the non-English keyboard, not in Chrome/Blink?
Or HTML spec should be changed according to the locale, floating point
separator should allow comma for certain locales.

I think this is a user's failure. The user should not change the keyboard even though the number field accepts only period. We don't accept commas intentionally because commas are recognized as decimal separator in some locales.
