Re: Proposal: Locale Preferences API

While not at all authoritative, these two Wikipedia articles provide a 
quick summary of the syntax and specifications in use:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locale

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BCP_47

It seems like POSIX locales and IETF language tags are both derived from 
ISO country codes, but they differ in detail.

(Microsoft Locales are another question.)

I don't know the details of these specs, I just don't want the concepts 
of language and locale to get mushed together.
