IMHO, the COUNTRY.SYS format does not affect compatibility, as the information is accessed through DOS interrupts. DR-DOS, for instance, uses a different one. I won't hide that I prefer Steffen's format, as I've already implemented NLSFUNC using that but, if we finally go for the MS format, we should consider to expand it to include a Yes/No table (for int 21.65.23), which is a nice addition in Steffen's version. It is pretty straightforward, but it will invalidate the use of COUNTRY.SYS files from those OSes in FreeDOS (apart from legal and/or ethical issues).
