The string "Sonnabend" never appears in the glibc sources, so that will
certainly not work. I vote not to care about that, but of course my
language is not one that has alternate weekday/month names. I guess if
we're intent on recognizing alternate names, we'll have to build our own
list of them :-(
I don't have the ICU sources here to check the status there.
