As far as I know there is no official repository for that kind of
thing. Everyone assumes that everything is "known".
At the end of 2005 and begining of 2006 I had a modest attempt
to get out of sleep an old project for collecting data for a presumable
registration of cultural elements at
http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg20/
but I get stuck because of some administrative requirements from
the ISO/IEC 15897 standard.
As for CLDR, I don't understand much there. It is true I missed this
list for some time and I only learned about the CLDR project about two
weeks ago.
My main question is what language it deserves ? Main Romanian, or all
languages spoken over Romanian territory ? (minorities) Because I found
references for characters that do not belong to Romanian language (like
characters Đ, Ż). On the other hand, if the minorities languages *are*
counted in, then the list is not complete, assuming I looked at the
proper one.
Other than that, the quotation data is completely wrong (I think I
already mentioned that in another thread).
I am not sure what the difference is between "d MMMM yyyy" and "dd MMMM
yyyy".
And generally, I don't know how to look at that data in a more human
friendly form.
