The language_country name model is defined in RFC 3066, and is being

It went into the hopefully final Last Call process yesterday.
The proposed version is:

Good to see real/authoritative informations. Thanks for this :)
I only heard about
- ISO 3166 (country names)
- ISO 639 (names of languages)
Microsoft does have a different convention, but supports the POSIX names as
well.
I tested gettext with php4 on a win2k srv. Only MS names 'French, Dutch,..'
worked, not POSIX names (fr_BE, nl_NL). But perhaps I missed something.
(I finally created copies for gettext dirs like /french, /fr_BE etc).
There is work underway to standardize locale definitions. If interested look
at CLDR, the common locale data repository, hosted by the Unicode
Consdortium at http://www.unicode.org/cldr .
Steps to standardization is good news, but not respected enough.
Ex websites using 'extended' html markup, splitting the web.
