I like your idea, especially leaving locale-dependent details to
Zend_Locale. I have a couple of questions related to this:
1. What are your thoughts about passing $locale to the constructor
instead of each individual method?
2. Is there a clever solution that would let people allow multiple
locales? For example, even if I don't need to allow all possible
alphabetic characters, I might want to all possible English, French,
Spanish, and German alphabetic characters. I haven't looked at
Zend_Locale, so my apologies if this is a redundant question.
Thanks for your time.
Chris
