However, in -STABLE there are not "ISO_8859-15" locales; we have instead "DIS_8859-15". Shouldn't we rename those locales to "ISO_8859-1"? Also, we have to add several -15 locales for countries in the Eurozone. Another option may be to merge the locale support from -CURRENT. What do you think about that? Cheers, JMA -- ****** Jose M.
