Yes, I should have made that correction in my reply. These tags, or some
variations of these tags (e.g. replacing the hyphen by an underscore) can be
found as locale identifiers in many systems, I think that's what Carl was
referring to (e.g. use "en_US").
I am not sure, and don't think, that the use of en_US on Unix/POSIX is
actually related to these RFCs. Does anybody know for sure?
YA
