May be that's just me but I believe there is some confusion between the XML contruct for user preference (as Mark and Andrea call it) or locale info (as Paul calls it) and the locale ID *problem* discussed so far. A locale ID is still be needed as soon as a software contains some data and its *translation* (this data can be some piece of logic, a string, ....). Locales have just been invented to add one dimention to software without replicating it. Even if you could store part of the locale dependant data in such a construct, the issue remains software will have different ways of expressing a locale ID.
