The others are for tracking: proper name format (e.g.
family name first or last); postal address format;
telephone number format (local, international, etc); units
of measurement (imperial vs. metric); and the standards
that govern the rest of the formats. Support for them is
pretty sketchy and you can probably safely ignore them :)
I wouldn't mind setting them myself. It may not matter much
right now but we all know how things change. Going to see
what Google can find.
They're already set, as your locale output showed :) The
definitions of those various formats are built into the
locale definitions, so they should have the same value as
all your other LC_* variables.
You can see your locale's idea of what those things mean in
the localedef file (bring alone a Unicode character chart):
