Whoops, good catch. And in a typical identifier, underscore is valid
while dash isn't (due to being an operator). Ah well, as close as we
can get that makes sense I suppose.

Nice collection of info, thanks.
After reading some more it seems language and country tags alone
aren't enough. Inside the same country, the same language and even the
same culture, different orderings can be used depending on the
ordering objective. As an example, there can be a specific order used
in phone lists and other for dictionaries.
I will leave the decision of the name convention for the last part of the job.
