It would be terribly confusing if some parts of an en-us page would use en-gb or even de-de formatting without extremely clear indication, so this sounds rather unlikely to me. As a user I would not even know what any given browser installation considers my "platform locale" to be. If I visit a en-us page in a en-us browser set to prefer en-gb content on a de-de Windows system, it'd be rather unpredictable how to inrerpret any possibly localised content. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de D-10243 Berlin · PGP Pub.
