I investigated this a bit more. The LC_IDENTIFICATION/category is defined in
ISO 14652, see http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/SC22/WG20/docs/n972-14652ft.pdf,
which defines two values (i18n/posix) but the current convention in glibc seems
to be to have them like in en_US, de_DE, and the current kk_KZ so I don't think
the change is needed. Given that this information is probably not used by any
program it shouldn't matter much but might be better to follow the example set
by some of the most widely scrutinized locales.
Thanks.
