Based on exchanges with Shaver and Veditz, I aborted this action item. That is,
we still use language-country to indicate the language tag of the locale provider.
With this, we'll have "en-CA" and "en-GB" in addition to "US English" for UI language.

For now, you only see "en-win.jar" for Windows ("en-unix.jar" for linux, etc.).
Eventually, we will pack then all in langenus.xpi and pick the right one for
the client's resident platform in installer script.
