Agreed (e.g. Vancouver is used by many US journals, so it probably should
have an "en-US" default-locale). Most of these popular styles currently
lack a default-locale though. Other options:
- lobby with CSL implementations for an easy override of default-locale
- create two versions of styles like Vancouver, an US English one and a
localizing international one.
- forgo the idea of automatically localizing styles altogether
