Bug#111268: Svenska språknämnden is a preferrable authority for Swedish as a language

Hi, just a little addition to the taste display: 12.34 looks fine. 12:34 looks fine, but more technical. 12.34.56 looks like some foreign date notation. 12:34:56 looks like a time with seconds. So I prefer . without seconds, and : with seconds. But that propably means I'm inconsistent. /Micce

Ok, this is confusing. Should the lovale use the technical format 12:34 or the language format 12.34? I suggest staying with the 12.34 format, but I still think 12.34.56 is a silly time format-but that's just my taste. Anyway, should not d_t_fmt, t_fmt and date_fmt use the same format? IFAICT
