A couple of items. 1. There is a newsgroup at news://base.freestandards.org/, on fsg.open18n.locale.user. Feedback and questions can be directed there. If you forward the notice on the common XML locale data, please direct people's attention there.
2. I also got a question regarding CVS: Q. On http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/locale/ the link to comparison charts goes to CVS, and viewing elements does not seem to give tables comparing different platforms' locale data... am I missing something or are charts not jup yet? Thanks, Joseph A. On the page http://oss.software.ibm.com/cvs/icu/locale/all_diff_xml/, each of the files in CVS is a comparison for a given locale. For example, to compare the data for different locales for Spanish-Spain, open the link at es_ES.html. At the top you will see a link for "download". You can click directly on that, or right-click and open in a new window. The latter gives you a regular browser window (with resize). The chart is explained on http://oss.software.ibm.com/cvs/icu/~checkout~/locale/all_diff_xml/readme.ht ml. (Note: the charts are slightly out of date; they will be updated soon.)
