Hi
I think we should have an entry for POSIX-like day and month abbreviations,
that should be
3 letters wide.
I do not think we need to coordinate all our data with CLDR, I actually think
we have a
very active community that is capable of maintaining our inforation ourselves.
So no need to open bug requests with CLDR - but of cause we should try to align
with them, and they with us.
I believe there is a difference in month names between Germany and Austria.
Best regrds
