RE: Bengali Locale Specific Data (RFC 3066)

Dear Gautam,

I'm not very comfortable coupling time-zone, measurement (or in that way
any other localization specific aspect) with language. These all should
be independent otherwise much problem can arise.

An example is - We cannot tie French language with Canada so that it can
provide the timezone information as Canada has around 5 timezones.

Dear All,
To differentiate between the dialects of same language across countries
may
be helpful to understand a user's time zone, user's physical locations
and
measurements metric etc on Locale Specific Data.
Thanks & Regards,
Goutam
