<h1>Unicode Locales Stability Policy</h1>
<h2>Unicode CLDR Repository Stability</h2>
<p>Each release of the <a href="http://www.unicode.org/cldr/">Unicode CLDR</a> is a stable release and may be used as reference material or cited as a normative reference
by other specifications. Each version, once published, is absolutely stable and will never change. Implementations may also apply
<a href="http://unicode.org/cldr/corrigenda.html">CLDR Corrigenda</a> to a release.</p>
<h2>Unicode LDML Specification Stability</h2>
<p>The <a href="http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/">UTS #35: Locale Data Markup Language (LDML)</a> may be changed to add structure for new kinds of data or other features. Structural changes are always backwards-compatible. That is, previous files will continue to work. Deprecated elements remain and can be used, although their usage is strongly discouraged.</p>
<p>Structural changes that require non-trivial code for proper implementation, such as time zone fallback or alias mechanisms require the existence of at least a prototype implementation that demonstrates correct function according to the proposed specification.
