Do you know why we don't just follow the IETF's recommendations in this area? They have a similar scheme, BCP 47, but use a hyphen rather than underscore, e.g., en-US, pt-BR. This is what is used on the web in general, e.g., in HTTP headers. See: http://www.rfc-editor.org/bcp/bcp47.txt
I have absolutely no idea, probably it just happened that someone chose a convention for OpenOffice.
The even take it a step further, which might be useful in some cases. For example: sr-Latn-RS means Serbian language written in Latin script, as used in Serbia.
In this case we have both, and we call them "sh" and "sr": http://www.openoffice.org/download/legacy/other.html But indeed we wouldn't be able to use this trick in other, similar cases.
