I wish there would also be `shortcut names', any other system i've been working with for example provides a locale named `de_DE' so you don't have to type `de_DE.ISO8859-1' all day. FreeBSD is the only (known to me) exception. (Before anybody's arguing, i don't care Short locale names dramatically increase program efforts to guess locale in each program which tries to deal with it directly, since suppose that program have the same default assumption (from where?) for missing information. If you need to type them - better make shell variables with short names. -- Andrey A.

During the transition commit period some locales or programms may not sense locale, but after all things will be done, old names becomes aliases to new names and will work as before. Please post a HEADS UP when you are done, so we all be notified that the world is in the safe state again.
