KDE classes have served as inspiration for Qt improvements before, and working
something out that works in/for KDE can have this effect again.

Improvements to the locale functionality could also take the form of a
framework (preferably Tier 1 I suppose).

A glance at Qt's locale page linked above suggests they've embarked upon a
thorough consideration of pros and cons of various approaches which is
understandable but will not help speed up the arrival of a solution for Plasma
5 desktops. I'd think that it can only help (them and their thought processes)
to have a modernised Qt5-based implementation of the KLocale solution from
KDE4.

FWIW: Qt5 and KF5 applications take locale settings from the host on Mac (e.g.
dolphin5 uses the desired YYYYMMDD short date format for me); a KLocale class
or framework shouldn't introduce regressions there, possibly even be a
transparent wrapper.
