I am pretty sure that the display of numbers in the log depend on the client language. For instance, in the French version, 12345 will be displayed 12 345 since French use a comma as a decimal point and a space as a thousands separator. I don't think numbers are displayed in this fashion on the English client.
In fact, the gils display already depends on the language (see the bottom right of this picture), so why not the experience points near the bar?

Space is a separator, you feel that a comma is superior because you are used to it. I am not and feel that spaces are better than commas .
