Yes it should be CLDR. Because the glibc locale data files are only
accessible through glibc API, and this API doesn't for example do
toupper("ß") = "SS", as needed for the German locale. Similarly in French,
where often toupper("é") = "E" and not "É".
The libraries which exploit CLDR are ICU and GNU glocale ([1], work in
progress).
