Did you just make that up, or is this use of the @ symbol a pre-existing
standard?
The part after @ is the "modifier" in posix locales and is often used
for script type, see for example
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/LocaleMapping
Citation from above link : "@modifiers that indicate a non-default
script, e.g. uz_UZ@cyrillic, be_BY@latin". Reusing this standard sounds
like a great idea to me - much more flexible than my earlier proposal of
recycling int_name in this role.
Anyone else in favor of name:ar@latin for the romanized version of the
local Arabic name ?
