I'm still holding out hope for a Locale object that handles everything.
:) Other than that, I think you have covered everything else.

There are couple of threads going on and I wanted to wrap up
current state before the holidays...
API:
1. Use built in toLocaleString family of methods in simple,
functional case*
2. Use Globalization API as proposed (with some tweaks) for
complex scenarios**
* -

** -
http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=globalization:specification_drafts
Proposed changes to the original API:
1. Remove global namespace *Globalization* (give an internal name
to remove chance of conflicts, i.e. __Globalization).
2. Use module loading logic instead (we need a way to do a
blocking load of built-in library - *Object.system.load*() is
async at the moment)
2a. What happens with toLocaleString methods when user doesn't
load @globalization module?
3. Accept either a String (LDML) or an option Object as a format
parameter in formatters. Simplifies the simple use case and
loading resources from files.
3a. In addition to DateTimeFormat({year:'long'}) one can
DateTimeFormat("yyyy").
4. Come up with the name of the built-in library - *module intl
import '@globalization'* doesn't sound so terrible to me as one
time operation.
5. Move locale list parameter into the options. I think that
clashes with item 3. where options are being replaced with the
string in some cases. Keeping locales separate removes the conflict.
5a. Instead of DateTimeFormat(locList, options) have
DateTimeFormat(options), where options hold locale info.
Did I miss anything?
