Marked
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1264
This item is tagged for TC3-2008.
An interpretation is required.
Interpretation response
------------------------
The standard is unclear on this issue, and no conformance distinction can
be made between alternative implementations based on this. This is being
referred to the sponsor.
Rationale:
-------------
There are several different uses of "default" and it is not clear which one
should apply here.
Notes to the Editor (not part of this interpretation):
-------------------------------------------------------
On page 1392 line 46282 section newlocale(), change:
default locale
to:
POSIX locale
Bug 1265: Knock-on effects of Issue 7 change to XCU 2.8.1 OPEN
