Hello!
In CLDR version 1.7.1 [1] (on which DateTime::Locale::ja v0.45 is
based) the 'full' and 'long' datetime formats (incorrectly) differed
from the 'medium' and 'short' ones as follows:
full/long: "{1}{0}"
medium/short: "{1} {0}" (space between date and time)
(As of this bugfix[2] included in CLDR v21, all of the formats in
DT:Loc:ja correctly include the space.)
DT:Loc:Base's _make_datetime_format method does not accommodate
different datetime format: it simply uses the result of
$self->datetime_format (which, for DT:Loc:ja, is hardcoded to
"{1}{0}".)
I am not sure if any other locales require multiple datetime styles,
but it is apparent from CLDR's XML that this is supported.
Has anyone else seen a need for multiple datetime style support? Would
it be worthwhile for me to submit a patch for it?
Thanks much,
-Nate
