Hi,

I have voted no for now, as I don't think the RFC explains a various=20
amount of situations:

- How are locale string handled that don't exist (exception? silently=20
  ignored?)
- What range of locales are allowed? Where would this list come from?
- How do fallbacks of locales work?
- Are locale variants handled?
- Is it really wise to use strings for locales?
- How are locale strenghts handled, such as the=20
  primary/secondary/tertiary modes of ICU =E2=80=94 these influence the=20
  matchy-ness of characters.

For all these situations, there should also be tests, but that's an=20
implementation detail.

cheers,
Derick
