That's pretty much how I understood it to be.  I was kind of getting a little 
worried I might have been wrong.

I have seen some applications that seem to change when the desktop locale 
settings are changed.  So I'm assuming there is a mechanism there that your 
application can use to find out about locale changes, it's just not propogated 
into the application at all.

So my applications that continue to cache locale bits and pieces will continue 
to work, libraries shouldn't change locale info ever unless they're guaranteed 
to be initialised first, and the rest of the world can change locales as much 
as it wants, the application won't care until it's next started.  I'm hoping 
that about sums it up, and I haven't misread anything.
