IIRC the normal .properties files are used if no file can be found for the given locale. So even if you have a system with, say, default locale 'es', if you specify 'en' as a locale, and it can't find the _en file, it should use the normal property file instead. So why do we need an _en file if the default file contains this value and the system defaults to it? It only sounds like more work. And leaving the normal property files out means that systems with different default locales fail to load even the default (english) values, unlesh you explixitly specify 'en' or make custom localized property files.
Anyway, I *thought* that's how it worked. If not, maybe you can elaborate?
