This is a noble idea, but I don't know how accurate it will really be. For
example, the European subsidiary of the company I work for has a ".com"
extension on their domain name, because that is typical of a commercial
enterprise. Choosing Locale.US simply because they browsed from such a domain
name isn't going to please someone who works there.
