I hope my collegues in WG20 disagree with this statement as it postulates that
the requirements for identifiers can ONLY be correctly dealt with in the
Posix locale framework. Clearly, WG20 has to take a wider view than the
Posix locale model of course with the understanding that the WG15 requirements
need to be satisfied.
