> Part of a locale includes a region designation which is a geographic component, so i would say that it's harder to remove location from locale and purely define a locale as a language and void of geography. BCP-47 language tags fail some cases because you can't represent "Canadian English speaker in the United States". It's being overloaded to represent things that aren't always a good fit. I'd much prefer discrete language, region, Timezone, currency, etc fields. -Shawn
