I'd say this another way:
    - locale stays as it was before
    - dec-and-grp-locale becomes 'currency-locale' or something better (e.g.
'currency-code' or just 'currency').

I must admit that I hadn't time to take a look at the current
implementation, so it can be only the attribute name change. Anyway, IMHO,
specifying the currency instead of group/decimal separators is more natural
when you need to display some currency value in a specific locale, isn't it?
