Hi Peter, all the Gnome Hackers, I'm CCing d-d-l since this is a discussion about l10n API addition that will affect many developers as well.
I've added my comments to bug Peter Nugent opened: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=307121 and I'd appreciate if any of the hackers responsible for relevant pieces of code (glib or g-c-c, though I seriously doubt we want this API in g-c-c) can comment on this. I should state that this is kind of functionality that GTP seriously wants to see in Gnome! Peter, it'd also be nice to get a cleaner and simpler overview of the proposed API, and the reasoning behind it (i.e. why are date/time formats locales provide not enough, and how do we expect API users to select each of the formats; next, why is this not possible without introducing new API, i.e. what's the reason for it?). I'm holding my judgement until this is explained. When we resolve that, we should probably discuss the way to store settings (since it'd be hard to make Glib depend on GConf, and introducing pluggable backends sounds like overengineering).
