(In reply to keld@keldix.com from comment #36)
i was looking at POSIX:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap07.html
ISO 30112 does not appear to be public, and i'm not about to waste $200 on
private standards. `man 5 locale` is about the only public reference i can
find.
i don't see this limited bit of info being useful beyond toy programs, and even
those are limited to specific locales. if people are serious about localizing,
they're better off with a real library. having these fields in glibc misleads
them into thinking they're more useful than they actually are. better to cut
them off sooner and drive them to fuller solutions.
