Comparison between CLDR and POSIX

[Bruno Haible <bruno clisp org>]

Hi,

POSIX specifies that particular locale features can be specified by
LC_* variables. (I.e. the user can for example choose date formatting
in German, but number formatting as in France.) How does this match
with CLDR?


<identity>             LC_IDENTIFICATION

<localeDisplayNames>   LC_MESSAGES iso-3166 and iso-639 and iso-15924 et al.

<layout>               LC_GUI ?

<characters>           ?

<delimiters>           LC_MESSAGES quote

<measurement>          LC_MEASUREMENT

<dates><calendars>     LC_TIME
<dates><timeZoneNames> LC_MESSAGES timezone

<numbers><symbols>     LC_NUMERIC
<numbers><currencyFormats> LC_NUMERIC
<numbers><currencies>  LC_MESSAGES iso-4217

<collations>           LC_COLLATE

<posix><messages>      LC_MESSAGES


What's your opinion about <layout> and <characters> ?
