Subject: example danish locale - short form
X-Charset: ASCII
X-Char-Esc: 29

Hello I18N-ers!

Her is an example of a complete Danish locale with precisely the
same functionality as the one in POSIX.2 draft 12 annex F, but considerably
shorter. The reason it can be made shorter is because it builds
on a reference locale called "CINT" and just copies the LC_CTYPE specs
from this, and just lists the difference from the reference collating
sequence. I think this locale is much clearer than the POSIX.2 da_DK
locale and I also think that many European language (and maybe also ideographic)
can be specified in this way - if we had a sufficiently general
reference locale.
