You may be right, but let me give you a little more context. The English application (or a future non-English version) can display monetary values in a currency determined by a server setting. The English application might be used in other countries before a localized version is available. It would be nice, though perhaps not essential, for currencies to be displayed with locale-sensitive separators.
I'm not sure about SharedResources, but I supposed I could have a currency.properties file and create locale folders for each locale that only contain the currency properties, defaulting to the en_US separators for locales that are not yet added to the build. Thus the application would be localized but only with respect to currency (and perhaps date formats). Any reluctance to add multiple locales now, is largely a question of timing/app size/impact on build system. Somewhat tangentially, will there be better tooling support for localization in Flex 4?
