Good question.  I'm afraid I don't know.   (But since I'm guessing someone
reading this list will know for certain, I won't speculate).

Again, I'm not sure, and won't attempt to guess...

Perhaps lexical_cast isn't a good approach when are variety of languages may
be involved.  (But at least it still cleaner and easier than using a
stringstream explicitly).
