Re: locale parameters suggestions

Hi Annette,

Thanks a lot for your suggestion! I'd like to make just few questions:

1. When you say "Internationalize your data with metadata about locale
parameters (date, time and number formats, language) and locale-neutral
representations." it means that metadata are about locale parameters and
locale-neutral representations? I understand that metadata is just about
locale parameters. Is that correct? Could we say: "and use locale-neutral
data representations."?

2. In the 'How to test section' of BP3 [1] we have three tests: the first
two ones concern the use of locale parameters metadata and the third one is
about the use of locale-neutral representations. My question is: the
publisher have to do both things, i.e. to give metadata about locale
parameters and use local-neutral representations, at the same time?

cheers,
Berna
