I think locales might be a good idea later on, but I worry doing them right out of the gate would divide the effort too much. We've had a hard enough time getting a critical mass of contributors around the English docs (and those aren't regionated into American and British). The way I see it the distinctions between Iberian and Western Spanish aren't so great as to be insurmountable to a reader and we can always fork the Spanish docs into regions when they are further along.
