  No, that doesn't work. As I wrote and others also wrote, some kind
of tayloring/customization is necessary for some (if not all) locales even if
all of them share the same codeset, UTF-8.

  I had to make up ko_KR.UTF-8 different from en_US.UTF-8 to make my
transition to ko_KR.UTF-8 work as I intended.  Turbo Linux (and
perhaps some other distributions) is shipped with zh_CN.UTF-8 and
zh_TW.UTF-8 X11 locales different from en_US.UTF-8 X11 locales.
