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.
