For now, perhaps this is safest, though eventually you'll want to call our
API directly. However, we don't have a stable, well-defined API at the
moment, so unless you're willing to endure a fair amount of pain and
brokenness, then you're probably best off running the commands.

Assuming those are the names of the tags used, then yes. I'd envisioned a
single "locale" tag that would look much like the usual locale
specification -- eg, en_US.UTF-8 -- but if you think separating the
components out into separate tags is preferable, then sure. Regardless,
they'll likely need to be prefixed -- "pkg.language", "pkg.territory", etc.

This is tough, since there are potentially millions of actions. We don't
currently let you do contents -r without specifying a package name, and I
don't think that's going to change much. This will probably have to turn
into a search query. And if it's a search query for the remote case, then
it might as well be for the local case, too. Brock's the one to toss
around ideas with about the specifics there -- we probably need a generic
search based on tag name.
