[Mono-list] XmlConvert: Possible bug & fix - ToSingle, ToDouble using current system culture

[Rodolfo Campero]

Hi all,

I've found what I think is a bug in System.Xml.XmlConvert. The methods 
"ToSingle" and "ToDouble" are currently parsing string values using the 
current system culture, and according to the documentation, this methods 
should be locale independent.

I prepared a patch, which solves the problem.

Cheers,

Rodolfo
