The definition of 'widget locale' is currently not in sync in the 'Widgets 1.0: Packaging and Configuration' [1] and 'Widget 1.0: APIs and Events' [2] specs. The locale issue has been mentioned earlier by Addison Phillips (comment #16 in [3]) and fixed, but I just noticed that the APIs spec mentions ISO 639-2 codes, and not BCP 47 tags. The question also remains how the widget engine reports the system locale to the widget as a BCP 47 language tag, if the engine itself is implemented on a platform that uses a different locale identification mechanism (which is highly likely). In that case some mapping is inevitable, and even though this is most likely implementation dependent, maybe a mention to that effect would be useful. --Jere [1] http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets/#widget13 [2] http://dev.w3.org/2006/waf/widgets-api/#members [3] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2008JulSep/0129.html
