It would appear that in the past some mechanical transformation has been
performed under somewhat erroneous assumptions. Incidentally, using CLDR
1.3 tables - when one could see with the Survey Tool what has been
proposed and possible already accepted for a given locale in CLDR 1.4 -
doesn't sound reasonable to me.
