I wonder why you call it 'a standard', markup is standard, data is not. This is what Wikipedia says: > "The Common Locale Data Repository Project, often abbreviated as > CLDR, is a project of the Unicode Consortium to provide locale data > in the XML format for use in computer applications. CLDR contains > locale specific information that an operating system will typically > provide to applications. " I'd prefer using binary sort, then we don't have to change anything, and everything is done extremely efficient :-) Anyway, there're lots and lots of implementation details/problems. It is easy to point at collection of data, it is not that easy to merge it into production environment, handle data conflicts, staging, etc. Do you want to get few people fulltime working just on this?
