I think deleting 12 hour clock is not fair. We could use the current entries in AM&PM part of the locale in the following link, that you sent me.

I don't know how you got to the page, but it is about the the Arabic *language* in Iran. The (almost) correct Persian page is at:

Hi,
Have a look at: http://oss.software.ibm.com/cgi-bin/icu/lx/en_US/?_=ar&d_=en_US&_r=IR&;
Maybe we need to submit the draft version to correct this. Anyway, as long as there is a note, it should be OK to refer to script as Arabic, though I still prefer something like "Perso-Arabic".

Well, that has the same author(!), so it doesn't count.
Do a google search for "pashto perso-arabic" to see that many authors think Pashto is written in the Perso-Arabic script.
Then do a google search for "pashto arabic script" and you'll see with just a quick glance that most further explain that it is *modified* Arabic script or called *Perso-Arabic.*
If you're writing in English, you'd better not say simply "Arabic script."
