Yes, but unfortunately OpenBSD's locale implemnentation doesn't yet support much of what you mention above. AFAIK we currently only support the LC_CTYPE locale category. Please show me a real benefit of this change within the current implementation, or extend the implementation to create a benefit. Or you could identify some ports which install message files where adding new spanish locale variants will really make a difference. If such ports exist, I'm happy to add the corresponding locale variants. But I'm not going to bother making no-op changes to the system.
