(In reply to keld@keldix.com from comment #38)
the standard itself already admits defeat:
The specification below should be regarded as a starting point for this
problem.
i doubt people writing booking systems are relying on the locale data provided
by glibc. instead they're using databases they found online or are provided by
another company.
i don't think this level of detail is appropriate anymore in any standards body
or C library. these processes are glacial at best. having focused libs that
are actively developed/updated is the common process nowadays. the CLDR as an
example does two full releases a year (with point fixes and betas on top of
that). by comparison, ISO 3122 has like one release every 5+ years ?
