As some of you might have noticed, I've recently gone through most of the
independent styles in the style repository, updating titles, ids,
documentation links, and adding ISSNs and default-locales.
One thing I think we should discuss is how exactly we want to deal with
default-locale and style localization. I'm of the firm opinion that any
journal-specific CSL style should carry the default-locale attribute set to
the journal's locale. On the other hand, I definitely see value in having a
selection of styles without a default-locale attribute that (automatically)
localize. I think we can improve the current user experience with three
changes:
1) we should decide which styles we want to keep without a default-locale
(I guess this will be mostly the most popular style guides, like APA,
Vancouver, CMoS, some Harvard variant, etc.)
2) for these styles, make sure localization is as complete as possible
(e.g. we probably should use localized date formats, which currently almost
no style uses)
3) make it clear to users which styles localize, and which don't
