Re: Initial cut at Locale-based forms in HTML pages

Thanks for putting this together, Richard.

I support the use of the lang attribute in the form control for locale
identification, but there are certain valid BCP47 values, such as those
with just the language tag, that are insufficient to help determine which
format to use with numbers, dates, and times. For example, ³fr² does not
provide enough information to determine whether the decimal separator to
use should be the comma (as used in France) or the period (as used in
Switzerland). Same problem arises with invalid language tags.

For such cases, shall we explicitly specify that a fallback locale (which
provides sufficient information) should be used?

Thanks,
	
Leandro
